You will need to report your health condition, supported by a fit note within 7 days of that. If you don't currently claim a disability benefit such as PIP/DLA or ADP then your earnings must be less than 16xNMW per week for you to be referred for a work capability assessment. (WCA)

If you're claiming a disability benefit then your earnings are irrelevant and you'll still be able to be referred for the WCA.

There's also a very detailed guide for managed migration here. It should answer and other questions you may have. https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/110560/uc-managed-migration-guide#latest
