Am I right in thinking under the change of law this month, that as an ESA support group claimant with SDP entitlement, I can now move to a full UC area and continue to claim housing benefit? Also, will I still recieve SDP with my new claim?

That is correct as from 16th January 2019 those claiming SDP will not be able to claim UC until transitional support protection is in place later this year. If you move your current benefits will not be affected. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2019/10/made

Fantastic. Thankyou.
-
I claim SDP but waiting for home assessment does this apply to me . I amin a support group as well. Sorry to intrude but I would appreciate any advise
-
Yes, it applies to everyone that claims SDP. You won't be able to claim UC until transitional support protection is in place.

THE 3 YEARS OF MY ESA HAS RUN ITS CAUSE IN OCTOBER WOULD I HAVE CLAIM UC OR WOULD MY ESA CARRY ON
-
Your payments will continue, unless you're found fit for work. As you claim SDP you can't claim UC anyway.
-
YOUR A STAR THANK YOU FOR THAT
-
You're welcome
-
EVEN THOUGH IM DOING ASSESSMENT NOW WILL I HAVE TO BE REASSESSED IN OCTOBER AS WELL
-
They can re-asses you at anytime. The time scale they give you doesn't mean anything, which i why they never put the time scale on decision letters.
