Migrating from IR ESA to UC, do I need to list medical conditions?

Just got the letter to migrate over to UC, I understand under Regulation 19 I do not have to submit a sick note nor undergo a WCA. When starting the claim for UC they ask for a list of medical conditions. Do I have to submit those? I ask because I heard if you submit something (such as sick note) when you don't have to, it can trigger your application into a fresh UC claim rather than the managed migration that I'm having to do.

TIA

    Yes as part of the UC application you need to list your medical conditions.

    Thanks Kimi, such a stressful time and just worried about doing something wrong that could hinder the process.
