I'm on ESA, i am in both the support group and receive severe disability. I'm waiting to migrate over to UC and am terrified. I am also searching for assistance regarding my PIP allowance. I receive both daily living components and motorbility at enhanced rates. I had an ongoing period foe PIP in 2015, so I've read DWP either reassess after 10 yrmears or … basically when they are ready.

So my problem is waiting…waiting to see if I'll only have a ' light touch' PIP assessment, or if I automatically continue…. Plus I've got the ESA migration to go through and the waiting is killing me. I'm dreading any drop of benefit as I absolutely need every penny and don't know how I'm going to cope to manage my finances. I'm really quite bad at keeping track of my money and my granddaughter sorts it out for me. Thankfully. So GELLO all. Do any of you have any actual information to assist me? This green paper has truly knocked us all for six. But I have found Andrea and Justice Journey ... ease get on you tube, type in your question and they will pop up. They are amazing. Both ex DWP advisors.. so my fellow worried friends please pass on any information and I will do the samrme x
