Hi @derekb Welcome to the community, great news that you have won your appeal.
The benefits system is a nightmare to understand and I don't have the knowledge to answer your question but I am sure other members can give you some advice.
@Adrian_Scope could you point derek in the right direction ?

Hello @derekb. Have you had an assessment since you've been on Universal Credit? If so, do you know what the outcome for that was? Your ESA tribunal decision should transition to UC with you, but if you've had another assessment since the first one (that the tribunal was for), then the tribunal decision will only run until the new decision was made.Community Manager

I have filled in the questionnaire they send out and sent it back .as of yet I have not been to a assessment on UC in tribunal letter states they should not reassess for 24 months from date of letter
