It will be the same as all other WFI you've attended. However, you will not receive any further payments from ESA but your NI credits will continue to be paid.

Deleted_User said:Will I receive any payments at all from anywhere?No because your 1 year time limit for payment has ended. All of this was advised on your other really long thread here. https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6408185/income-esa#latestNew style ESA is time limited to 1 year unless placed into the Support Group.

As my 2 conditions have worsened could I be placed in the support group? My current claim is due to end on 15/120

All of this was advised on your other thread. A worsening of condition doesn't automatically entitle you to be placed into the Support Group. You will need to have a look at the descriptors to see if any apply to you. https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/employment-and-support-allowance/esa-glossary/support-group-descriptorsIf you've reported the changes then you'll need to wait for the new work capability assessment form to be sent to you. You will then need to fill that in and return it with all your evidence and you'll likely need to have another assessment. This could take several months.
