ESA to UC online migration form Blank Pages at the back

Getitdone

Does anyone know if there are plenty of blank pages at the back of the online migration form from ESA to UC in order to add extra information?

Venetia

No, there are no blank pages. All the questions are very specific and require definite answers.

There is a space to list what illnesses/conditions you have but not how they affect you.

Once you have completed your application, if you're doing it online, then you will be able to send messages via your journal, if you think there is anything else they should know or if you have questions.

Once started - how many times are you able to pause or come out of the online form to re-start the next day?

Kimi87

You have 28 days to submit the form after starting. At various points you will be able to save the information entered. It's safe to leave & return later at those points.

Venetia

Yes, as Kimi87 said, you have 28 days. I dipped in and out of mine over the course of three weeks. It's only at the end when you've completed all the sections that you have access to your journal.

When you have completed the form, you have a chance to change anything that is incorrect.

Can you attach letters from Consultants and GP's?

The ability to upload has to be turned on by UC, it is not available by default.

You don't need to upload medical evidence anyway.

All you need to do is make a simple list of your medical conditions on the application form.

Once you've applied, ESA will confirm your previous group with UC, and you will be automatically awarded the UC equivalent.

This is usually done in time for your first payment statement. If not, you would flag this to UC, and it should be done in time for your second statement, with the payment owed sent within a few working days of it being confirmed.
