New Style ESA letter

nic21 · May 17

Hi

I’ve been going through ESA migration to UC and just received a letter regarding ESA New Style, better late than never.They have taken there time!! I started Migration 1st April

My question is it’s talking about contacting me to book an appointment by telephone or face to face with a work coach to explain how my illness or disability affects my ability to work?
Not sure why this is when I was in support group ?
I thought this would only be for people in the work related group?!
Has this happened to anyone else in similar situation? Would really appreciate some help in understanding this, is has got me all anxious again 🤯 With all the ESA migration to UC it’s all become too much 🤯

Hi,

This is just a generic letter. You don't need to go through any work related appointments or assessments yourself.

You might need to confirm commitments over the phone separately from the UC commitments.

I got one too, but it doesn't say if I'm in the work related group or support group
