Hi There,

I'm currently in the ESA support group and hope to start a new job shortly which will support me in the workplace.

Once I have confirmation of this, does anyone know how to obtain the back to work grant, travel to work assistance etc?

Thanks in advance

I'm afraid this is not an area we deal with on the forum. A quick search found the following

www.gov.uk/moving-from-benefits-to-work/overview

If you are working less than 16 hours a week and earning less than £115.50 then you can remain on ESA and do Permitted Work, there is a guide in the ESA section.

Whilst I hope that your return to work is a success, you can make a re-claim for ESA at any point up to 12 weeks from when you close your claim and be put back into the SG automatically.
