I have been officially diagnosed as having ASD from birth. (They are looking into ADHD, I have been on the waiting list since 2017.)

Yay on the diagnosis poetical dude ~ and yay on the being back on the forum too!

Hi Ellie! great to hear about your first appointment too!

Congrats Hendrow I bet thats a relief, I got my diagnosis a year ago tomorrow and it was for me. Be kind to yourself, its a lot to take in and I'm still processing it 12 months on.

Congratulations Hendrow!! It is also great to have you back on the forum!!  I have my first assessment appointment in March 2019!

And so it begins....... :)

Thanks Robert, I will keep you all informed.

Being in the support group means you don't have to look for work.  Or be forced to attend regular meetings.

Work-related support

Following your Work Capability Assessment you’ll be placed in either the work-related activity group or support group if you’re entitled to ESA.

Work-related activity group

You must go to regular interviews with an adviser who can help with things like job goals and improving your skills.

Support group

You don’t have to go to interviews, but you can ask to talk to a personal adviser. You’re usually in this group if your illness or disability severely limits what you can do.

I 'would' that it works out just as you desire.

ASAP...Austustic  Spectrum Assessment Pronto for me x

Well, "Oh How, I wish I knew your real name" now that my financial and mental well-being are being addressed. I should soon be able to focus on getting, My Aspergers Assessment completed (ASAP). It would also mean that I could the focus on my writing and drawing, My voice over and I also want to learn to play a song on an acoustic 6 stringed guitar. Not forgetting the most important things in my life. (My research and TWRH studies.) The jokes will continue, know that for sure. H. thanks for the comment

I don’t know but it is really really good to hear from you x

Does anyone know what it means when your EESA Medical is abandoned, because the Doctor (Assessor) Did not think I was able to comprehend the questions and that I cannot be made to work? As in his opinion, he thinks I cannot work and said as much to my support worker. 
She then said "I think you will be going into the 'support group' Whatever that is"? Bearing in mind that I was recently awarded, Enhanced PiP, (Not, Mobility though) at the same time my EESA payments enhanced and there increased. I heard that there is an additional 'Premium or Payment' if you will, that I might be entitled to, what is it, how and Why Please? Sorry about the two questions in one. If You know? Please let me know.
Regards, 
Hendrow.

Congratulations that you are happy and things are doing well.

I am on the infamous Universal Credit.  And it's fighting all the way.

This year:

Threats of eviction and fines because I'm behind in the rent.

Council tax support unfairly removed (temporarily) because of a technicality and mistake by someone else.

Taken to court for claiming free prescriptions.  When I was in fact eligible.

Being criticised for failing interviews by saying inappropriate or irrelevant things.

I'm too normal and able  to claim any disability benefits and adjustments.  But too much of an oddball to function in normal society.

Rant over, congratulations that your life is getting better.

Update, I have been awarded, High Rate Enhanced ESA and also High Rate PiP, I have an assessment on Thursday 19/10/17, to decide which ESA group I will be put into, in short. I am in a good position. I live now in supported a housing project (Temporary) I have my own flat. Hendrow is in a happy, and Autistic space now. (I am still awaiting my Aspergers assessment, I should get a letter through the post any day now.) One hopes that all is well with all of you.                                                Kindest Regards, Hendrow.  

Hey People, I have my ESA assessment  on the 19th October 2017. Has anyone got any advice for me?? Thanks in advance. I will be back online in the next few days, I will start posting again.

Yesterday I found out I have an assessment for PiP Benefit, (whatever that is) at my new, supported housing address. It is around Midday on the 20th September 2017.

Glad you're okay, Hendrow.  We were wondering how everything was going.

Take care
