Hi

The reasons i was in that group was i can only walk short distance and have trouble sitting for long periods of time.I put my mandatory reconsideration in on Tuesday do you know how long it take to get a reply to that.Also have new x ray taken on Tuesday so waiting for the results.Got a letter today about my (SMI) loan for my mortgage and it has stopped. Just don't know what to do now.

PS

I had 15 points 9 for how far i can walk,and 6 for how long i can sit,and in the support group and now a big fat 000.Sorry if i go on a bit thanks.lo

    Hi,

    There's no timescales to decisions unfortunately. Most stay the same though do expect to have to take it to Tribunal. If the MR fails and you take it to Tribunal then you can go back onto assessment rate of ESA once they've accepted your appeal. 

    Being placed into the Support Group isn't about scoring points, it's about satisfying at least one of the Support Group descriptors. My guess is, is that you were placed in there because of your mobility. 

    The reason your SMI has stopped is because you've been found fit for work and you no longer claim ESA. You'll need to contact your mortgage provider, if you haven't already done this.
