    Hi,

    No one can tell you if you'll successfully be given limited capability for work under UC, i'm afraid you'll have to wait for a decision. To get the extra money per month you'll need to be given limited capability for work related activity (LCWRA) which is Support Group equivalent for ESA.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Were you claiming ESA immediately before claiming UC or did you stop ESA to start work?
