In support esa Contribution can I get income Based

As I said the other day have had my WRAG award changed to Support after reconsideration.
But as wee all know being in support locks us into contribution based and prevents us getting any income based halp such as cold weather payments budgetting loans etc seems a gray area.

I asked cab today Is it possible to claim both contribution and incomee based ESA as my partner is not working and no savings,
They suggested I fill in an ESA3.
But on looking at the esa 3 it mentions taking part in a work related interview and other sanctions.

My question is Would filling in this form put me at risk of lossing my ESA Support that I have just been awarded.
As even if I put a forwarding note in to explain I have filled in the form to try and get income and contribution based,The DWP may look at this as a new claim.
Any help anyone thanks.

Being in the Support Group does not 'lock you in' to contributary ESA, it simply means that there is no 365 day limit as there is when in the WRAG.

it is perfectly possible to get contributary ESA with an income-related top-up.

The ESA3 is a means 'test form to see if you are entitled to any income-related ESA, it does not start the assessment process again.

Thanks for that Mrs Hurtyback But I am ultra caucious now as I do not want to risk anything.
If there is no 365 day limit then it must mean we stay on contribution rate does it not.
