Hello again

I have another question about UC migration . I am my daughter's appiontee she in non work ESA support group pip hb .

I completed the online form for her last week and submitted it .

But while I was half way through I got a little stuck on some of the questions so I called the UC helpline. I was put thought to a lovely man who was very helpful.

One of the questions I was stuck with was the Health questions I put in my daughter's health problems she as autistic spectrum disorder . But last year she was also diagnosed with schizophrenia which is a new health condition .

The advisor told me

To also put the new health condition which I did . I'm just a bit worried now as don't know if this would trigger anything as I said she is migrated over to UC any help thanks

It won't trigger anything whatsoever. In addition, health conditions are not necessarily only those diagnosed. They encompass any health conditions one is experiencing whether these are diagnosed, not yet, or cannot be diagnosed, as there are health conditions that cannot be diagnosed, including rare diseases, those with medically unexplained symptoms, and some chronic conditions that are difficult to pinpoint. Millions of people live with "undiagnosed diseases," which are medical conditions without a known cause despite extensive evaluation. 

Just list any health conditions she's suffering from, even if there's one, which she has only been experiencing since yesterday.

In fact, listing or mentioning health conditions in the UC form for someone migrating from ESA Support Group to UC is just a formality, and thus doing so has no bearing on anything.

On the other hand, reporting a new health condition for a claimant who was on ESA in the WRAG group is different.
