    @veryconfused Just phone the ESA helpline and they will tell you when your next review is most likely to be, even though they can call you in for a review after 3 months of your award.

    It will cause you No issues by asking how long you've been placed in the Support Group for.

    I highlighted everything that's wrong with this country from benefits, NHS, UC etc, but now we have to put up with the hate now that is the Tories.

    @veryconfused If you have recieved a decision letter like mine here you should NOT have to send in anymore Fit notes, sick notes.



    You may have recieved a letter just before your decision was made asking for one. The best way is phone DWP and ask, but I don't think you need to send one. I don't need too.

    They can reassess you at anytime for ESA and no, you don't need fit notes when in one of the groups. If this is a recent decision to place you into the Support Group then the letter you received may have been sent before the decision was made. The reminder letters are automatically sent out for the fit notes.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    You need to ring ESA because no fit notes are needed once placed into a group.
