    Because HB is means tested it will all depend on your total income and whether you are single etc,

    I am assuming your in the ESA support group.if you are you will be getting full housing benefit. While you remain in the support group. Just because you are placed in support group, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll stay in that group. Your circumstances could change in the future. If they do you'll be moved to the ESA wrag group. If you do get moved in the future to the wrag group,your money would drop in line with the ESA wrag guidelines. Meaning your money goes down and you'd pay a small amount towards your rent.wether you stay on support group apparently depends on the DWP. Hope that helps. All the best.

      Housing Benefit would totally depend on what the circumstances are. If Morag is on Income Related ESA then housing benefit would be paid in full regardless of what ESA group a person is in.

    If you are in the support group the benefit you receive is the amount the Government says you need to live on.  In which case your HB amount won't change,  unless other circumstances have,  x

      F2f first time and paper based decision 2nd time. No idea how long as it was over 3 years ago when i had that assessment. I did answer your question. I said it depends where you are in the country. There really isn't a time it can vary from weeks to even a couple of months, everyone is different. Ring and ask if a decision has been made.
