    Prepare for and attend your First Commitments appointment in a jobcentre

    Then gave me a time and which Jobcentre I have to got on Monday 30 August

    This is normal because you've just claimed UC. You can put a message onto your journal to ask for a telephone appointment as a reasonable adjustment.

    Did you put a message onto your journal when you claimed to tell them you're in the Support Group as I advised on your other thread? It will take a few weeks most likely for ESA to send your details across to UC. Once this is done your claim will be updated.

    Thank you Poppy I’ll request this. I also made a note in my journal about being in the support group as you previously advised. Thank you for your help.

    ive just had a message to say my appointment at the job centre is now cancelled and there’s a link to click to accept my commitments and if I don’t I may not get paid my UC. Am I ok to accept them please?

    They may have received details of your ESA claim. Yes, you will need to accept the commitments.
