Joint to single claim

I'm currently receiving ESA in the support group as a joint claim and my husband has gone. When I ring up to report a change in circumstances and change to a single claim will this trigger universal credit or will I stay in ESA as a single claimant.

Then you'll be able to continue your claim as a single person you just need to ring ESA and report the changes.

Is that for definete? So I won't have to change to universal credit0

It won't prompt a move to UC because it's your ESA claim. If it was your husbands then that would have prompted a move across.

Hi @andielou and welcome to the community.
Poppy is correct, this won't trigger a change to Universal Credit as you are the main claimant.0 -
