I have used my 365 days on this and my partner works over 24 hours a week so I am not entitled to income related. Being allowed into the support group is the only way I can receive any benefit. I am at the Mandatory Reconsideration stage.
A Support Group award has never been points based, however, some of the 15 point WRAG Descriptors (but not all), correspond to SG Descriptors.
If you have a look at the ESA Claim guides for each of the Descriptors you scored points for, you will be able to see if you met any of the SG ones as well, of course if you did not score 15 points in a single Descriptor you will not have met any of the SG ones.
