You won't have to worry about working coaches if you were in the support group. I had an ID interview at the Jobcentre, and had a phone call the next day to agree commitments ( just agreed to inform them of any changes).

I didn't know I had a mixed claim either, the cb part of ESA becoming NS ESA, it was the first I knew about it. It gets deducted in full from your UC payment.

If you used to claim IB, that will probably be why you had cb and ir mixed ESA.
