Advice on different ESA groups?

Advice on different ESA groups? was created by Amyw
I'm getting a bit confused and just need some advice please.

I had an ESA f2f medical just under 3 years ago. I scored 0 points but appealed on advice of my Dr and was then placed in the support group. The ESA I get is contribution based. I am waiting to be called for a f2f medical after receiving the health questionnaire.

My question is - if I get placed in either the support group again or the WRAG does the ESA carry on being contribution based? I live with my husband who works full time.

Am I getting pension stamps on the contribution based ESA?

Sorry for my ignorance!

If you are placed back in the SG then your ESA(CB) will continue in payment.

If you are placed in the WRAG then based on your post , you should be entitled to ESA(CB) for a further 365 days, after this you technically remain in the WRAG but with no payments. If a following reassessment places you back in the SG then your ESA(CB) will be re-instated.

In both cases you receive NI Credits as long as you remain om ESA.
