CB ESA (old style) to NS ESA

Popster2020

Is everyone who is on CB ESA (old style) migrating to NS?

I read that this is only for those who are claiming IR and CB ESA who are migrating to UC and NS ESA.

I only receive old style CB ESA (support group), will I be moved to NS ESA?

Do you receive any other benefits such as Housing Benefit?

Currently anyone claiming these benefits are being migrated to UC. Any CB ESA in payment will convert to New Style ESA.

• Housing Benefit
• income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
• income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA)
• Income Support
• Child Tax Credits (CTC)
• Working Tax Credits (WTC)

I haven't read of any plans as yet for anyone on CB ESA only to be changed to New Style ESA.

Hi Kimi, can I just check as you said:

Any CB ESA in payment will convert to New Style ESA.

I haven't read of any plans as yet for anyone on CB ESA only to be changed to New Style ESA.

Which is the case?

Thanks in advance

Anyone claiming the benefits listed will be migrated to UC. Any CB ESA also in payment will be converted to NS ESA as part of the process.

There are currently no plans for people claiming only CB ESA, that I'm aware of, to be swapped over to NS ESA.
