Hi I am just looking for information so me and my partner are on ESA (support group) and migrating onto UC my question is once we are moved over and onto LCWRA will I now have work commitments? As once she was put into the support group I stopped getting commitments like going to the jobcentre TIA

So do I just write in the journal that we are moving from ESA support group?

Heya @wilkes572 and welcome to the community.

I can see Nightcity has already answered your question, but it'd be rude of me if I didnt stop in and say a quick hello. 😊

Hello! I'm still slightly confused because the LCWRA will be for my partner so will I be added to that or will I have job commitments:)

After she got her decision for ESA support group I was put down as her unofficial carer as she doesn't receive pip so I can't get CA

Unfortunately, it's your partner that has LCWRA and not yourself. This means that you will be treated as a job seeker because you can't claim carers element unless your partner claims a qualifying disability benefit.

It was much more simple when claiming ESA with a partner because there were never any commitments for the partner named on the claim either.
