Some questions For the ESA WRAG Group (not support group)


1) ESA SUPPORT VS WRAG?
What things are different for this WRAG group, VS the support group, besides this:

Support group have NOT got to attend anything, no WRAG.

What other things, do the WRAG group have to do, that the support group doesn't?


2) What do the WRAG group activities consist off?
and how often are these? Where are these held?

3) What do the WRAG Group Interviews consist off?
and how often are these? Where are these held?


4) If you want to go abroad for 3 months, and you will potentially miss WRAG interviews, then how would this work out interms of Not being here to attend these interviews, and the DWP payments, continuing to pay you your award ?

you would tell them, and then they would stop your benefit?


5) -Is there a limit to the amount of time you can spend abroad, while receiving ESA?



6) Have you done this? Gone abroad while in the ESA Wrag group, while missing interviews? What happened?


Answers to 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) would be appreciated.

Thank you very much :)

    You're only allowed to go abroad for four weeks on ESA, unless it's for medical treatment.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
