    Hi @jen63, welcome to the community. How old are your sons if you don't mind me asking? I hope the community can help with some of your worries 😊

    Which benefits are you and your sons currently claiming?

    Does Steven only get PIP, no ESA or Housing Benefit?

    Whichever group he is in for ESA will automatically entitle him to the UC equivalent.

    LCWRA for Support Group and LCW for the work group.

    It can take a few weeks for ESA to confirm his status with UC but this is usually done before the first payment.

    No medical evidence will be needed.
