Hi folks
Just finished filling in esa form (i have RA) and was wondering if anyone has been put straight into the support group without a medical after quitting work due to ill health.
Also I believe the payment is initially £71 a week until the assessment, if you are put in the support group or wrag does this money then increase. My husband works, no dependent children.
Thanks
