Exceptional Circumstances - groups?

Hi,

I'm sorry if this has been answered elsewhere - re 'because of the claimant's illness, there would be a substantial risk to the mental or physical health of any person were they found not to have limited capability for work' due to suicide risk, would the claimant automatically be put in the support group, or could they put into the WRAG under this reasoning?

Thank you

Hi,

Technically a claimant could be put in the WRAG if they were fond only to have limited capability for work due to this exceptional circumstance.

In reality, it is highly probable that the health professional would go on to find that the claimant also had limited capability for work-related activity, which would mean that they were eligible for the support group if the decision maker agreed.
