Hi everybody, I am currently in the process of migrating from old-style ESA (support group) to universal credit. I have received the text below this morning. What's this new-style ESA, please? I thought I was migrating to Universal Credit and what is this commitments? I can't work; I am disabled. All this is so confusing. Thank you in advance.

You must take part in your New Style Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) telephone appointment at 12.30 PM on 09/09/2025. The number may show as unknown or 0800. We will call you within 10 minutes of this time. This appointment is to enable you to agree your commitments with us to get New Style ESA. If you do not accept a claimant commitment we will not be able to pay you any New Style ESA and may close your claim. If you need to rearrange your appointment or no longer wish to claim New Style ESA call 0800 169 0190.
