Hiya!

Hi,

It's been a very, very long time since I last posted on here, so I thought I would start here. So much has happened in my life, and now the DWP are insisting that we migrate to UC. It's something that we have studiously ignored, but now have to deal with it but we (my wife and I) are wondering how it is going to affect us.

Welcome back. What benefits exactly are you both currently claiming? Once you answer that I'll be able to advise you further.

Hi Poppy!

Thanks for getting back to me. I am on Housing Benefit and Income Support. My wife gets Contribution-based ESA. We both get disability benefits (DLA and PIP, respectively). I also get Carers Allowance to help my wife. Please let me know if you need any more, Poppy!

Welcome back @Siwheels73 good to have you back. 😊

Just to let you know, I've popped your discussion over to the benefits category, just so more people will be able to see it, but I can see Poppy is already helping you out, so I'll leave you to it.
