I have just been put in the support group for esa after my medical. Finding it all very confusing as to what I will get. Am on income related esa. Have been reading that I wil get extra as a 'enhanced disability allowance' automatically as I have been placed in the support group. But finding it all confusing as to what I will actually get. Also have been on assessment rate for ten months now...wil my esa rate now get backdated?

Any help much appreciated.

If you were a new esa case then after assessment phase -13 wk- you should then qulaify for support group rates from that date & should be backdated. If you were a IS/IB migrant then should get from date of being found not fit, subject to any transitional allowance top-up. https://www.gov.uk/employment-support-allowance/what-youll-get
