Hi

I’m on the old income ESA based support group, I have read this is due to be migrated over in 2028? But now hearing people of this being done sooner like this year how true is this?

Thank you

    It was announced by the last Government that it would be from Sept 2024 to Dec 2025. Whether that remains now, I have no idea.

    Hi Poppy , forgive me for asking this again, I'm stupid , dosent go in . As I'm I the esa lcfw section . Once my UC letter come through to migrate over , would they move me to support group if I fit the rules. Would I need to fill out another form if by any reason still not heard about my esa 50 form . Would they take information from the esa 50 form they have They do have it. Sent it by special delivery in Jan

    If you're still in the WRAG for ESA (LCW for UC) then you won't automatically be put into the LCWRA group for UC. If a decision hasn't been made on your current review then you won't need another review, you just wait for that decision to be made. Any decision made will apply to UC anyway. Assessments for both ESA and UC are the same anyway.
