I am waiting for a call from DWP to confirm my identity , I also have to do the commitment but I'm currently on ESA and in the support group ive been in the support group for years I also get SDP. on the form it says something about a work coach but i was on the understanding that I wouldn't have to do that with me being long term sick and info would be great thanks its causing me so much stress

Once ESA have confirmed your previous award with UC, you'll have LCWRA automatically on your claim. This is usually done in time for the first payment statement, but sometimes there is a longer delay due to the two departments not being able to talk to each other efficiently, and the numbers migrating now all letters have been sent out.

Everyone has to agree commitments for UC, for someone with LCWRA it will be to keep them informed of any changes.

What you see will change as UC gathers bits of information about you on the system, as of now it knows little other than you've applied and have health problems.

Every claim to UC is treated as a new claim, so the language and terminology used don't account for those migrating from legacy benefits.

thanks for the brilliant advice, there is a part on the commitments which asks when my illnesses and heath problems started i dont have a clue really its been many years

Just put down your best estimate, as I said the form treats everyone as a new claim, doesn't account for those migrating who will be given LCWRA automatically, so it really doesn't matter if you get a date wrong.
