Have a look at our ESA Clain guide for an explanation of the criteria that you will need to meet to stay in the Support Group.
www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claimants/esa1 We have limited experience on ESA telephone assessments but we have had reports on a lot of PIP ones and there will be similarities in how the assessment will be done so I would also have a look at our PIP Claim guide there is a section on the assessments.
