Hi just looking for a bit of advice, i currently receive ESA support group but i was thinking of transferring onto UC - do they need to know who i live with as i live with parents and siblings

Hi 

In answer to your question yes they will want to know about your living arrangements and associated costs 

Not sure if you need to say who you live with but if you pay rent or anything 

Have a look at the application form online to see

Please don't transfer just for the money. Once you are on UC you are on it and there's no going back
