    oh wow . It’s been so difficult losing my hearing , like I hadn’t suffered enough with DV . Everything seems like it’s on loud speaker now , the hospital said it will take a while to adjust. Thanks for all your support on here . I will write it in my journal when I apply for UC about my hearing

    ESA contribution based will I get a notification or letter saying I have switched to new style ESA after I have migrated or is it just done without ?

    You should get a letter.

    The letters are standardised, so please don't panic about mention of work coaches etc.

    You will be in the Support Group from the beginning.

    You will have an appointment to agree Commitments (to report any changes), you can request a telephone appointment as a reasonable adjustment, if you'd find going into the Job centre difficult.

    I went job centre Tuesday to do ID and had to accept commitments then, my journal says I don’t have to look for work or anything at the moment, will I have to go again to sort out ESA ?

    Possibly, as UC and ESA are administered separately.

    Accepting your commitments for New style ESA should just be a simple phone call.

    will this happen before first universal credit payment ?

    I have no idea when you will need to do that. The ESA is not part of UC but it is deducted in full.

    I’ve finally did my UC application today and it was very straight forward , I also submitted my id and it’s been verified, does this mean I won’t have to go to the job centre to provide my ID ? I have a date for my first statement and payment. Is there anything I need to tell them in my journal ? Thanks
