It usually takes a few weeks, and is sorted before the first payment. Occasionally I have seen it take a bit longer.

I have some good news, my experience seems to be more pleasant than it has been for others.
I got an email today telling me I need to agree to my commitments, obviously I knew I will do this as I know it disallows the claim if refused.
When I logged in, is a message waiting for me telling me to ignore the work search as I am in the support group, this appeared within 24 hours of making the UC account.

I’m still being harassed for a fit note even though on my journal I’ve left a message in my journal that I have seeked further advice and that I’m on esa support group and protected by regulation 19 in started my claim on 28th October, I would have thought ESA would have sent across by now ?

Are you able to call the UC helpline? Sometimes it seems to take ages before journal messages get read and some don't get actioned without sending another one.

I called ESA contribution based number and they said as well you need a fit note because it’s a different benefit, I don’t think anyone knows what’s going on!
does anyone know if you care for someone on UC over 35 hours and don’t claim carers allowance you are exempt from being a job searcher ?

I’ve written in my journal today for an update regarding information sent over from ESA . As I’ve spoken to ESA and they don’t seem to know anything

Ah, if this is for New Style ESA then yes it's a separate benefit. That can't be managed through the UC journal. It's telephone contact only unfortunately.
It's not possible to claim Carers Allowance and New Style ESA together. I don't think they'll accept the Carers Element of UC to remove your work commitment on New Style ESA either. However, because you were in the Support Group of CB ESA, that should still entitle you to Support Group of New Style ESA as far as I'm aware.

Are the equality questions compulsory? Its in my to do, but it also says it wont impact the claim, I have not been requested to fill them in. But they were not in the to do a couple of days ago.
