hi I’m in esa support group and have completed the migration I have a biographical phone call on Friday but my journal says on health bit that I may need an assessment to confirm I’m suitable for the health element is this right I thought it would just swap to the support group on u c ?? Wonder if anyone can advise please x

    This is because the system has picked up on your reported health condition but doesn't yet know you are migrating from ESA Support Group.

    You will not need another assessment.

    Once ESA confirm your status with UC, you will get the UC equivalent (LCWRA) automatically.

    thank you I got worried reading that I’ve sent messages in my journal about esa etc but clearly it’s not been actioned yet.

    UC have to wait for ESA to confirm your award. As the number of migration letters has gone up, the wait time for this has increased in some cases.
