Contribution based ESA - Schedule 3

We have a client who is in the Support Group and receiving Contribution Based ESA for over 2 years.  On the 1st May will the ESA continue as is or will it become means tested, as her husband has a works pension?

We have spoken to the local DWP who have told us that it will be means tested for everyone who have been on CBESA for 12 months as at 30th April irrespective of whether they are in the WRAG or the SG.

Support Group clients continue as they were.

Many thanks for that - the DWP have now got back to us and confirmed that there are no time limits for those in the Support Group to receive CB ESA.
