ESA and housing benefit entitlement

jennie09

I have been for an Atos medical as i recieve ESA, i have recieved letter saying i have been placed in the support group and do not have to take part in any work related activity, at the moment i recieve maximum housing benefit, and understand my allowances will go up because of this, i would just like to know how much extra i will recieve in esa allowances and how it will affect my housing and ct benefit, also i have been told i will no longer have to attend the compulsory back to work focused interviews, i have just been for my first one a couple of weeks ago, and had another booked in a months time, will i no longer have to attend this interview as i am now in the support group? Will my housing benefit be affected or will i still recieve the maximum as i have been doing, i recieve income related ESA.

Your rate will go up to £95.15 plus SDP if you get that.

You will still get full help with HB.
