    Thank you all for your positive posts.
    Myself was only focused on when I will be contacted by the DWP in reference to the next WCA.
    I was Placed in the SG in November 2018 for 18mths.
    My Review was due in May 2020.
    As I mentioned, because of the COVID-19, the DWP has/had a Backlog.

    I will continue with what I am receiving until the DWP contact me in reference to another WCA and or UC.

    I will become stressed out when this happens.

    Many thanks for your reply.
    All previous WCA that was Face to Face stressed me out of attending one.
    As Maximus Stated....
    Its not the Condition/s itself, its how it Affects you on a Daily Basis.
    The only one's that know is the one's that live with it. (They Don't).
    As with the Migration of Legacy Benefits of ESA to UC being 2024 or 2028, this will not interfere with me being in the Support Group as I currently am, its just waiting to hear from them of when I will be Migrated.
    Its either 2024/2028.
    This Forum is here to Help each other.
    I will be back in order to ask for advice as soon as I need some.
    Bye for now.

    As advised, it's been pushed back to 2028, unless a change of circumstances prompts a move in the meantime.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    For ESA claimants it is 2028 unless they also receive Tax Credits According to the information in the Autumn Statement as already referred to and quoted by poppy earlier in the thread.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    Thanks again Calcotti.
    As below is the section of the Autumn Statement related to the Migration of UC. 
    Its just this Last Part that throw's me off.
    *and this will not affect the managed migration of other legacy benefits onto UC*

    5.15 Employment and Support Allowance: delay managed move - The government is pushing back the managed migration of claimants on income-related Employment and Support Allowance (with the exception of those receiving Child Tax Credit) to UC to 2028. Employment and Support Allowance claimants are still able to make a claim for UC if they believe that they will be better off, and this will not affect the managed migration of other legacy benefits onto UC.

    That simply means that those that are claiming either ESA and tax credits together,  Income Support, Income Related JSA/ tax credits or housing benefit, will be migrated anytime up to end of 2024.
    As advised several times those that are claiming Income Related ESA with or without housing benefit will not be migrated until at least 2028.

    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    To repeat again what has already been said. The reason that managed migration of ESA claimants has been delayed by 4 years is to save the government money because most claimants are expected to get higher amounts on UC. The expected saving to the government is about £1bn. (Of course claimants can still choose to switch if they are amongst those who would be better off in which case the government will save less.)
