Hi @Bec301, at the moment, people on New Style ESA aren't being migrated over to UC.

But in the future, what we've heard proposed is that New Style ESA may become something called 'Employment insurance' around 2028/2029. This new benefit will only be available for a limited time for each claimant.

Unfortunately, we've not heard a great deal about what that means for disabled people who have paid national insurance contributions and aren't eligible for the means tested benefits. We're hoping more information will be available soon and we'll try to keep everyone informed.
