It's taken 18-months and she has been moved into the Support Group and her award has been backdated, a nice sum of £3500 went into a bank account today. She was not aware until the postman delivered two brown envelopes today, one confirming the new award and the other advising her of the backdated amount that they were paying to her. :j
I just thought I would share this with you all as it might encourage others to appeal when they are feeling like they have lost all hope. :cool:
I'm quite proud of myself as I helped her make the appeal. BTW she was never called for a medical, they just used letters that were submitted and a GP report.
I thought you were never refused ESA untill you were given a medical.0 -
It sounds like the OP's friend was placed into the WRAG, and appealed successfully to go into the Support Group.0
