Forced onto u c

I moved area and was forced onto u.c, thinking i would go back to esa because i have been on a legacy benefit for years on support group getting sdp, to my horror i was not automatically sent back because esa had not been paying me sdp for 6 months, anyway ive now lost that with u.c and neither are taking responsibility for this, but i lose out; is there anything i can do about this

Full service areas
In a full service area, income-related ESA will be abolished for her/him if s/he claims UC, or tries to make a new claim for JSA or for ESA. It makes no difference whether such a new claim is made before or after a request for mandatory reconsideration or appeal. From that point, s/he cannot be entitled to income-related ESA, even if s/he successfully challenges the WCA failure. The result is likely to be a claim for UC, so making the migration complete. The key advice for any claimant wishing to avoid migration to UC is not to make a new claim for UC, ESA or JSA.
