ESA - Universal Credit

Freesia123

Good afternoon all.

I am still in receipt of ESA income based. I was informed about 7 years ago that everyone will eventually migrate to Universal Credit.

I am due to receive my state pension next year. So I was wondering if they will just leave me on ESA until then. Has anyone else been in this position?

Thank you

The timeframe for migration to UC for those claiming Income Related ESA is anytime from now up until December 2025. I wouldn’t want to guess whether you will receive a letter before you reach state pension age.

Are you claiming ESA as a single person or with a partner named on your claim?

Hi,

The process was accelerated a few months ago. Now everyone should receive migration letters by the end of 2025.

I don't think age will be taken into account for the migration letters. I think they're just automatically being sent to everyone in the final IR ESA & HB group now.
