    Hi @pest118. Just to clarify, have you already successfully applied for UC? If so, you may find this information on getting an advance payment helpful in the meantime.

    They are moving on to UC or ESA.

    It is only income based benefits that are moving to UC, Contribution based JSA remains outside of UC

    PIP is unaffected by UC
