DLA TO PIP - ESA to Universal Credit

I just wondered if anyone knows when those of us who have an indefinite award of DLA will be asked to claim for PIP? I have heard that this might not happen until April 2028, but if so where does that leave my managed migration of ESA to Universal Credit? (which is currently going through? Does it effect the health element of things? Also when you are migrating over to Universal Credit, what happens if you haven't had a work capability assessment since before Covid, does this initiate an assessment? Sorry so many questions, but im really worried & there doesn't seem to be the answers. Maybe there are a few people that are in the same position as me or they've already gone through it, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Currently there are no confirmed changes as to the proposed link between PIP & UC Health Element.
As things stand DLA/PIP does not have any impact on a UC award.
You will not be asked for a work capability assessment as a direct result of changing from ESA to UC.
