So saying you have to have psychiatrist when get to see one ?? Hospital admissions surly they would understand its impossible to get these services

Although i wouldnt go by that. I meet the criteria for a few different things outlined on the site which would put me in this group but I didnt automatically get higher rate of PIP (well not for daily living anyway)
They have these rules and criteria but at the end of the day it all depends on the people who are dealing with your claim

I think you could get a referral from your GP and that you are waiting for an appointment that would count?

"Where a claimant is considered likely to meet the criteria for the Severe Disability Group, a short form will be sent to their specialist clinician."
It's not something you can apply for, seems DWP led in terms of looking for those who might be eligible, and no updates have been given since April when the DWP began testing the group.
This discussion was probably triggered by an opinion piece on Twitter.

Hi. May I just ask what it is you are trying to sort. I’m on ESA contribution based but in support group. I’m just wondering what you mean by supported and if I can help with your query.
ESA is usually income based. But if you have enough contributions over the years it will be done on contributions.0 -
How do you know the difference

Hi Bananarama 123
My daughter worked in 2013 till 2016 and received Access to Work contributions. Her award dated Oct 2023 changed to contribution based and income related ESA. A new one dated Jan 2024 no longer had that information on it. I believe they have miscalculated her award.

Kimmy87 hit the nail on the head as I understand it.
It's DWP management-speak. Just another way of classifying us.
Good luck

This is for clinicians. It's not for us?

I meet this requirements but dont actually have the assistance of someone else

Also the chances of getting referred to MH is a joke!

Hi. You will get a letter to confirm if it’s contribution based or
Employment support allowance

I am not concerned about this. It's not been fully rolled out yet.
However I was on indefinite dla, so it would make sense to increase the award and do a light touch.
