UC Migration to ESA - questions they will ask at the Identity Interview at the Jobcentre

I have to go in to the Jobcentre to present my ID. With my mental health issues it will be a bit of an ordeal but I'm willing to do it just to get the whole process over with.

My question is will I be asked any details about my medical condition? I'm OK to tell them the disorders I am diagnosed with but if I have to explain anything in detail it would likely make me quite unwell.

If you're unable to attend in person you can ask for a telephone appointment. You will not be asked any details about your health condition. If you're in the Support Group for ESA then your UC will include the LCWRA element from the start of your claim. It can take up to a few weeks for ESA to send your details across to UC.
