How Much Should I Be Getting in ESA Support Group?

Hi A,

Taking into account all previous comments from Mods, it would be worth you being assessed for IR ESA top-up,as even if you were only entitled to one penny, it passports you to such things as free prescriptions/dental care, HB and CTS.

You would have to request an ESA3 from The DWP.

Asset rule for ESA(IR)

24 hour work rule for ESA(IR)

Sample ESA 3 Form

Further, another potential advantage could be, if at some future reassessment you are placed into The WRAG, if any part of your ESA is IR ESA, you will not only have 365 days entitlement to ESA in The WRAG, as you would if it was CB ESA only.

Hi A,

Just to add The ESA3 is purely a "Financial" assessment, and nothing to do with The ESA WCA, and which group you are placed in.

Ah that's very helpful, Bro. Thanks so much. Yes, it was just the thought of an assessment as I couldn't get to the Atos one because of agoraphobia & panic attacks. If it can all be done by post then that'd be fine.
