ESA Support Group Under 25 was created by Lady Lou
My 21 year old son has moved from JSA to ESA on mental health grounds and has been put in the SG without a medical.

The DWP have told him that his payment rate will increase as from 24 April and in the meantime he will remain on ESA under 25 assessment rate.

Is this right - I need to be sure before discussing with him?

Help much appreciated.

You don't give any dates for the claim but from what you have posted it sounds as your son is still in the 13 week assessment phase of ESA, this being the case the full rates are not payable until this period has elapsed.

If this is not the case then you should contact the DWP as I cannot at this time see any other reason for him continuing on the Assessment rate.
