Hi @andreazzz, with Universal Credit you may have to have a commitments phone call even if you don't have work commitments. It's often just to agree that you'll let them know of any changes in your circumstances.

As you were in the support group for ESA you should be migrated directly into the LCWRA (Limited Capability for Work Related Activity) group on Universal Credit which will mean you won't need to look for work and you shouldn't need to have a new health assessment either ☺️

You don't need to phone ESA.

Please see these threads for information and reassurance:
