ESA Reviews
What is the current situation regarding ESA reviews? Are they still suspended or have they started up again now? I haven't been reviewed since around 2020, and I was told last year my award had been extended until 2025.

Someone here advised me I'd be better off switching from ESA to UC
So I filled out the UC form, and they're telling me I'd be worse off on UC as I get the enhanced disability premium now, and won't get that until I receive a migration notice to move over to UC. Was the info I was given on here wrong?
