hi there can somebody please advise me I have just done the migration from ESA to UC. I also have enhanced rate of daily living and standard rate of care PIP after a migration from DLA 9years ago before that, I was on lower rate of care and lower rate of mobility after I was awarded severe disability premium in my ESA would I be right that I should’ve been moved into the support group as well due to me receiving enhanced rate of daily living if that is the case, I have never been moved the premium I have remained in the capacity to work group which I was totally unaware of until the migration to I contacted and they have opened up an investigation to look at my ESA claim because I have not been assessed since 2010 and for some reason, I fell right under the radar now you see or asking me attend my doctors and ask them for a to I am not fit for work.

    PIP has no impact on your ESA group, the ESA group is decided on solely by the Work Capability Assessment.

    the only assessment that I have had was done in 2010, however, after receiving enhanced rate of living, I received severe disability premium which clearly on the government‘s website if you receive enhanced rate of living of you will automatically be put into the support group. It

    Which government page are you looking at?

    You can receive ESA Work Related Activity Group alongside Severe Disability Premium.

    An award of PIP enhanced and/or SDP doesn't mean you get moved into ESA Support Group.

    It's the work capability assessment that decides on your ESA group.
