    Do you live on your own or with a partner? If with a partner - do they work? If they do then they will have to more than likely support you if they earn over £111.45 per week.
    If you are single and this is your only income then you can apply for Income related ESA, which currently passports you to other things like free NHS sight tests/Free Dental/Free prescriptions.
    Is there any reason why you did not appeal the ESA WRAG decision? If your condition has got worse you can ask for a supersession to be considered for the support group - providing you meet one or more of the support group descriptors.
