Received UC migration letter - how can I see UC claim questions before creating an account?

I've received the UC migration letter. I am currently on old style ESA.

Looking at the govt guidelines, it says that to start a UC claim, you need to create an account online. But, once you do that, you must submit your claim within 28 days.

As I have 3 months to submit my UC claim, I'd like that amount of time to mull over all of the questions first.

How can I see all of the UC claim questions in advance, before creating an account?

Thanks a lot for your help.

There is a dummy form online that you can look through.

Thanks a lot.

I tried using the dummy form - and went through both "paths" inside the form, which is a to-do list, and creating an account.

After finishing both parts, I couldn't see anything to do with telling the DWP about my health conditions. Is this something separate? If so, is there a dummy form for this to? That's the thing that I am interested in the most, because it's quite complicated, and I'd like to understand what questions I need to answer.

Back in 2018, when I last filled out an ESA form, I think it was called ESA50. Is there a UC50 equivalent form, and if so, is there a dummy version for this?

Thanks a lot.

BTW, when I was filling out the dummy form, I said that I was already receiving ESA. I don't know, but perhaps that's why I didn't see anything to do with health questions?

There is a section on the UC application form that asks about health.

It is nowhere near as detailed as the ESA50 form.

Thanks a lot.

So, it seems that migrating over from ESA to UC is quite straight forward, in terms of form filling. And I think it seems that doing this doesn't trigger a UC50 form to be sent. So, I guess I will receive a UC50 form when they decide to reassess me, which could be any time, not necessarily straight after the migration process has been carried out.
