I’m now in the process of migration from esa support group and he has put me I. The lcw group. Can someone tell me why I haven’t been put in the lcwra and how I should proceed please?

    Are you 100% sure you were in the Support Group for ESA? If so how do you know they've placed you into the LCW group? If this is a recent UC claim it can often take a few weeks for ESA to send your details across to UC.

    yes, 100%. For years

    I also began to claim sdp since before Xmas

    Iwhen he rang and did a biographical interview on the phone he said lcw. I asked about lcwra and he did not reply so I’m now really worried

    ESA need confirm this and send your details across to them. Yes, put a message onto your journal and tell them you're in this group. It's nothing to worry about, it's early days yet if you've only just claimed.

    I have just done this.
    I’ve been on esa support group for years and I’m so worried. I migrated within a couple of days of the date on my notice letter so I’m thinking I should get 1 last payment and my pip is due too in the middle of my migration so I’m hoping that it all goes smoothly and I should receive to for my sdp. Is this still all correct please?

    They charge about £20/year for membership and not everyone can afford to pay that fee. It's free on here and you also receive excellent advice too from members with a lot of knowledge and personal experience.

    Income Related ESA and housing benefit, if you're also claiming this both continue for 2 weeks after you submit your claim for UC. Your first UC payment would be about 5 weeks after you submit your claim for UC.

    PIP isn't part of UC and payments will continue as normal. Once everything is up and running there shouldn't be any issues.

    The person you spoke to probably didn't have a clue what they were talking about.
