Hi

When you have transferred to lcwra from ESA support group do they call you in to see a work coach keep hearing conflicting stories. Tyia

    I saw a work coach once as my ESA status hadn't been confirmed.

    When it was confirmed, the next appointment was cancelled and I no longer had a work coach.

    Hi kimmi87

    Can I ask you something else?

    Do you have to provide them your tenancy agreement or is a letter of your rent increase ok. We live in a housing association house. We get housing benefit at the moment.

    If you live in social housing then all you need to do is tell UC what your rent is.

    They will then contact your HA to confirm.

    Hi

    We have to move over by the 7th june. First thing I did was we got all our id's ready. Proof of address proof of id (picture id) etc. The support I got off here has been invaluable. I was very stressed and anxious but now I'm just counting down to the day when we have to migrate. Do a separate discussion and the likes of kimi87 and others would be more than happy to help you. There was someone called poppy123456 on ere but not seen them for a while.
