in Employment & Support Allowance (ESA)
Hello I was in the work related group of ESA then I had a assessment last year and they moved me to the support group I had another assessment over 2 weeks ago but I have not had a reply as yet.How long does it take to get a decision and does it mean they can put me back in work group. I am worried as I suffer with chronic pain and fatigue and have Lupus and Fibromyalgia also depression anxiety. I also had to go by myself as I had no one to go with me it was awful I was in so much pain and the anxiety was to much. Thank you

    Hello, there is no set time for decisions to be made you like many others have to wait but 4 weeks is the usual time.

    Hi,

    They can either keep you in the support group, move you to the WRAG or find you fit for work. Ring DWP and request a copy of the assessment report to be sent to you this will give you some idea what the decision is likely to be because they mostly go with the report.
