A tentative congratulations :)

The Tribunal Notice definitely has the result on it, references to Schedule 2 will result in a WRAG placement, those for Schedule 3 are for the Support Group.

You can speed up the process a little bit by faxing the DWP a copy of the notice, it can often take a couple of weeks just to get through their mail system. Back payments usually take 6-8 weeks.

Thanks Gordon / Mrshurtyback. :)

My letter says (main stuff only)

Schedule 2: 1a) Mobility -- 15 points

Schedule 3: 1a) Mobility ((nothing here))

If I'm reading it right I'll be in work group. -- This was best I could hope for (given other peoples cases I've read.).

I'll look into doing faxes via the computer over the weekend, I'm lucky that thanks to family I'm not in dire straits.

Based on what you have posted I think you are in the Support Group. Descriptor 1a of Schedule 2 corresponds to an SG Descriptor, which is confirmed by the Schedule 3 reference to it as well.

Many congratulations.

Hi Blake
Does it say any where on your letter that you have received the support component

Really? Oh wow that's great.

I'd been gearing myself up for the extra pain of getting to the interviews and things they want with the thought that at least its not fortnightly signing on! -- I tried that with my illness at 18, it was actually the job centre disability person who advised I try for my benefits because the bi-monthly visits were just making me worse for no results.

Sorry waffling, am really paying for the tribunal 'outing' and that tends to convert to rambling to not focus on the pain.

Thank you again for this wonderful site, just reading it and peoples stories helped so much and knowing that you are here!

Have a lovely weekend! :laugh:

(trouble with rambling, does my hands in as well *sigh*)
