Hi T297,
Well done on being placed into The SG.
No, you do not have to take part in WFI's or any WRA once you are in The SG, you can do so voluntarily.
If you have a written Decision Notice stating that you are in The SG, I would post a copy to The JCP Adviser.
Sending Documents to the DWP or ATOS
You could also phone them, informing them that you are now in The SG, and do not wish to take part in WFI's/WRA. (if that is the case)
Don't be badgered into "Volunteering" for anything if you don't wish to.
If you have any problems, re-contact your M.P.

His office phoned them one day and within a couple of so days, I was placed into the Support Group. I have recently been asked to go into the Job Centre to see my Personal Adviser. Is this compulsory now I am in the Support Group?
Thanks for all your help.

I actually received a letter from my job centre BEFORE I received any notification from ESA saying I was in the Support Group. I called my job centre and the man was very helpful, he admitted that his office was extremely quick off the mark notifiying me that I was in the Support Group and that in due course they would contact me to have me in although he did say that he could not force me to look for work and he did say that likely as not he would only see me once as he understood I was not capable of working. I received my ESA notification 3 weeks later the date after my incapacity benefit stopped.
