support group and wfi was created by mossy
Hi
could you please give me the references to the DWP legislation/ documentation relating to people in the support group of ESA not being required to attend for wfi etc.
Sorry this is probably a question you have covered elsewhere - I have been trying to locate it in your guides but have not been able to find it.
Also, if I include it in a correspondence, what is the most effective way to present it- should I just cite the references or do I need to copy out all of the relevant chunks of it?
Thanks very much
