Migration to UC

LPKP

hi can anyone help me, I need to fill the form for migration from ESA to UC. If I don’t submit the form after 28 days from starting it can I just restart the same form or does it mean I have to completely start a UC claim which is a longer form?

After 28 days any saved, unsubmitted information in the form is deleted, so you'd need to start again from the beginning.

Citizens Advice have a Help to Claim service if you are struggling.

do you mean just start the same form again?

Yes you'd need to start the same form again from the beginning.

so it’s not going to complicate my online migration claim then? Just make sure when I restart the form it’s submitted by the date they gave me? I hate these things

You need to submit a completed form before your migration date.

If you start one and don't finish, after 28 days it will be deleted.

No, why would it? They don't see anything you've completed on the form until you've actually submitted the claim.
