Hi,You won't be placed onto JSA because it will be UC.As you are in the Support Group for ESA then that award will be honoured in UC and you'll be placed into the relevant group when you move across. If it's the support group when you move then you'll be given LCWRA. You won't be any worse off than you are now because there will be transitional support protection in place so you won't be any worse off.All this could be quite some time away and could be a couple of years yet, unless in the meantime a change of circumstances prompts a move. My advice for now is don't worry about it because worrying just causes stress.
