The Work Programme and the WRAG are to separate things, although the WP is only for two years, as long as you meet the criteria for the WRAG you will remain in the group. Claimants who have spent 2 years on the WP will be referred back to their local JC+ office and managed from there.
As this is an existing award you remain entitled to the WRAG component in addition to the Personal Allowance.
