    Twice is the maximum number of times you should receive the message.

    I feel for you @knitting68728991 because i also found the whole migrating over to UC super stressful. I only agreed to migrate the day before my final migration date because a support worker convinced me it was something i must do. The letter you received would worry me too and personally i would ignore it because i now have a deep seated phobia about anything to do with UC. Btw, i am NOT suggesting you should ignore it though.

    It's fine to ignore this @knitting68728991. It's a scheme to help people get back into work but it's completely voluntary.
