Successful migration

I would just like to thank everyone on here who answered my questions about migration from ESA to UC. I did our daughter’s migration about 5 weeks ago, the day after her ESA payment as advised. The online form was pretty straightforward as she still lives at home. I added into the journal that she was in the support group on ESA and that I was aware she would automatically transfer to LCWRA and would not need any fit notes or have to adhere to any work commitments. I got a reply back from someone who seemed genuinely nice as far as you can tell by messaging. Her follow on ESA payment went in, her P45 followed and a final letter from ESA. Then her journal message came through on Sunday with what her amount would be and everything seemed correct. Today her first payment went in and she is £123 a month better off. I just wanted to share my experience as I know we all read some awful stories of what people have been going through with migration. We are doing our sons on the 18th September and I don’t think his will be as straight forward but hopefully with the insight, information and knowledge from you guys hopefully we may be lucky. Thanks again.
