Hello @lucylucy, I'm sorry the migration notice has worried you so much, you're definitely not alone in feeling this way.

Who was it that said you wouldn't have to change over? Everyone claiming income-related benefits it being moved over to UC.

Have you ever claimed ESA or had a work capability assessment?
