    Just thought I would update you re my claim.

    Got a letter today saying I have been put in the support group. I haven't had a health assessment so a decision must of been made based on my application and doctors letter.

    I now get:
    Living expenses
    Extra because of being Severely Disabled
    Extra due to Disability Income Guarantee
    Extra because of being in Support Group

    I feel like a weight has been lifted; I was so worried about the assessment. Strangely enough I was talking to my doctor about it this morning and he was assuring me I have nothing to worry about as anyone could see I was unfit for work.

    So people, stay positive; sometime ESA works and the right people get the right assessment.

    Excellent news. In light of my last post I can confirm that the 'disability income guarantee' is what is also called the 'Enhanced Dis. Premium' just in case you were wondering..lol
