So everyone from the ESA support group is being moved across to the equivalent on Universal credit is that right ? πŸ™‚

    Yes eventually

    I had it recently

    I wasn't re-assessed, just transitioned over… they did some identity checks and stuff but nothing to do with re-assessing my capability to work

    If ESA is wholly or partially Income Related then yes, no matter what group IR ESA is ending for all.

    Migration letters are being sent out up until the end of next month. People then have a few months to claim, after which IR ESA will cease to exist.

    If the ESA is wholly Contributions Based or New Style, that is not one of the benefits moving to UC.

    No. Not everybody in the ESA Support Group is eligible for UC.
