in Universal Credit (UC)

Just applied today and it did appear to be straightforward. So much so I am expecting there to be a problem - because usually there is one.

Each area was split into sections which turned green once you had put the info on that it wanted.

The only issue - I didn't have two of the required evidence to prove who I am, so they are doing a phone interview.

I said preferred contact was text. So they sent me text to look at the journal that gives me the date and time of the phone call. It also gave me the info they require, back statements, (photo ID which I now have, that isn't a passport or driving licence)

It asked if I was on ESA in the support group, so hoping that's a simple swap into the lcwra of UC.

Fingers crossed the first payment is correct.

    That does sound very straight forward @whistles, sounds like you've prepared yourself well. ☺️

    I am hoping they put me straight into the lcwra group as they got told I was in the support group.

    I am hoping they pay what the LHA has been paying and things are straight forward.

    It is saying I need to accept the work commitments and there isn't anywhere to actually do that. Perhaps as I won't have any. It did say I won't be asked to look for work before I submitted the claim.

    Well, I'll keep everything crossed for the result you want. And that it doesn't take too long 😊

    I had the phone interview which was quick and smooth.

    The only thing is they can't tell me how much money I will actually get. I have tried to work it out, and in paper it sounds like I will get a bit more money, but the lady on the phone said it's staying the same. But wouldn't tell me what this actually is a month.
