HI,Providing you didn't claim UC then both can be back dated to the date your ESA stopped but sick/fit notes will be needed. As you were previously claiming Income related then it would be income related you would continue to claim.1

This is on the money advice service website about the new ruling:
The Severe Disability Premium is paid to people getting certain means-tested benefits (including ESA) who live alone and who have substantial care needs. It is not available under Universal Credit.
From 16 January 2019, you will not be asked to start claiming Universal Credit if you’re getting the Severe Disability Premium as part of your ESA payment. You will not be moved onto Universal Credit until you qualify for transitional protection, which tops up your income to make sure you’re not worse off.
You will not be moved onto Universal Credit until the DWP asks you to as part of the managed migration programme, which is not due to start until November 2020 at the earliest. When you are asked to move onto Universal Credit, you will qualify for transitional protection, which tops up your income to make sure you’re not worse off.
If you have already moved onto Universal Credit and lost the SDP
If you were getting the Severe Disability Premium, but were moved to Universal Credit before 16 January 2019, you will continue to claim Universal Credit.
It’s expected that you will qualify for a lump sum payment to compensate you for any money lost since the removal of the SDP. You will also receive an ongoing monthly transitional protection payment as part of your Universal Credit award. How and when this will happen is expected to be announced before July 2019.

Yes, i know about the new ruling. The reason for the prepayment certificate was because your ESA stopped, which meant you weren't eligible for free prescriptions. Once your ESA starts again then you'll be able to start claiming for them based on your ESA award.Backlogs for Tribunal hearings are huge across most of the country so your wait could be extremely long. Make sure any evidence you send arrives no later than 10 before the hearing date. Good luck!0

If you are having problems with paying for NHS services, you can apply for an HC2 certificate under the low income scheme

Do the tribunal service let you know once the process is live so I can claim ESA again?0 -

HMCTS will write to you once your appeal has been accepted. This could take a few weeks.
