Hi @EmmaPemma and welcome to the community ☺️

You're definitely in a great place for that. There are lots of knowledgeable and friendly members here. Is there anything in-particular you'd like to discuss or gain some advice on?

A warm welcome from me @EmmaPemma

It's lovely to have you here and I hope you enjoy your time on the community!

thanks @Holly_Scope snd @Mary_Scope

I got the letter today and decided to take the plunge after I had spoken to the ESA people. They confirmed with me that because I receive 2 parts to ESA , namely contributions related and income related the uc relates to the income related only. I think I’ve read that on here as well.

thanks so much for being the support you are. It’s pretty frightening and worrying but I feel better now having confronted the beast 😅😅🙏

I'm really pleased you've made the decision and wish you the absolute best with the transition.

Thank you, that's so lovely of you. 🤗 Please let us know how you get on (if you're happy to, of course).
