Will my income related ESA be protected by new changes coming on Tuesday vote

blob

Hi, I desperately need to know if I will be affected by the new benefit law coming in tomorrow. Im on income related ESA and they want me to migrate to universal credit by August.

If I do not transfer to universal credit before the vote tomorrow will I be protected under the new law.

Thanks for your help.

@blob There isn't a new law to do with benefits coming into effect on 1st July. The movement of claiments IR-ESA and other means-tested benefits to UC has been going on for a long time. You will lose ESA if you do not migrate to UC.
