I am claiming Income Based ESA, Housing Benefit, and also PIP. I haven't had a migration letter yet, I'm losing track of what's going on with benefits. Can someone tell me what's going on?

    You will receive a migration letter any time between now and December. You then have 3 months to claim UC.

    Got my migration letter today. I'll be looking at it in Monday and may need some help filling it in.

    Can I ask, after receiving the migration letter, at what point/time scale can you ask for an extension??????

    It's all online, I think I've filled it in correctly, I was phoning round lots of different departments. I must say, it was very, very stressful!

    From what I can gather extensions are pretty hard to come by. It would have to be for a very good reason
