    If you are put in ESA Support Group that would start from the 14th week of your ESA claim. I should then be entitled to LCWRA element of UC from the start of your UC claim.

    However, be prepared to have to argue this with UC as they appear to often get this wrong.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.
