If you can't manage your own claim then do you have someone that can be your appointee? If you have an appointee for ESA this will not transfer across and your appointee will need to arrange for this to be put into place once a claim for UC is made.

When you claim UC if still in the Support Group for ESA then you'll be entitled to the LCWRA element from the start of your claim. Once your claim is up and running and your details have been passed from ESA your commitments will be updated and you will have no appointments, just like it is with ESA. Everything is done through your journal so no phone calls will be needed once everything is in place.
