Good news !! Worked related ESA to support group
8 years 10 months ago - 8 years 10 months ago #136967 by
Hi pl,
Many congratulations on gaining access to The SG !!
If you have been placed into The SG as a result of you requesting a review/supersession, which looking at your previous posts : Here, seems to be the case, any extra monies should be backdated from the date that you requested the review.
Current Rates for ESA in the SG are as follows :
ESA Personal Allowance for over 25 year old single : £73.10/Week
Support Group Component Addition : £36.20/Week
If you are entitled to payment of, or already receiving paymnet of Income Related (IR) ESA, you may also be paid The Enhanced Disability Premium (EDP) (also known as The Disability Income Guarantee) for being in The SG, currently : £15.75/Week.
The above are figures for a single over 25 year old and you should look at the "couple rates" if you have a partner for IR ESA entitlement/payment.
See : ESA Premiums
&
Benefit Rates 2015/16
To reiterate, you cannot receive payment of The EDP unless you also have entitlement to payment of IR ESA.
If you have any doubts regarding your potential entitlement to payment of IR ESA you need to request and fill in an ESA 3 Financial Assessment Form.
You should receive a Decision Notice letter from DWP informing you that you are now in The SG with a breakdown of what your entitlement to payment of ESA is, and the start date of your entitlement.
Please return when you receive this letter, and we will advise further if necessary.
