ESA has stopped

sounds like you need f2f with cab

marac,

I agree, I think you need to get local advice from a CAB or similar.

It sounds as if you are just getting what's called the standard allowance of UC - about the same amount of money as JSA, but paid monthly. 

A few tips:

If you have a decision that you have limited capability for work/or limited capability for work-related activity, that decision can, and SHOULD, be reflected in your UC. Tell them that they have to include this, and say you're going to complain - also, it should be backdated to the beginning of the claim.

if you haven't yet had a decision about your limited capability for work/work-related activity, but there is one in the pipeline, then that can be applied to your UC when it comes through (however, it sounds to me from what you say that you already had a decision about your limited capability, so there is no reason not to apply that NOW).

The amount of ESA you were getting before suggests to me that there was a decision that you had limited capability for work-related activity - what is called the support group in ESA. That decision can and should be carried over into your UC. 

As regards the housing element, if you've already asked them to look at this again, and it hasn't been awarded, you may need to appeal (to a tribunal) but I'd suggest asking the CAB about this. Sometimes there's been a decision, but sometimes it's a delay, and it can be difficult to tell. 

You are being thoroughly messed about by UC here and it's not good enough. The law and guidance are clear. Ask the CAB about making a complaint too. It's not acceptable - no one should have to use their PIP to pay the rent.

Hope you get this sorted very very soon.

I r got cab tommorow 
i will update you on here.

I still agree that they could transfer that 
money to me and backdate it.
they acting as if they do not even no what I’m talking ablut
when I call them 

Hi everyone 
thanks for all the interest 
and advice.
the cab was an initial drop in
pending appointment.
and the u c,
said I would receive an update on5/03/2018.
they said that
everyone
who moves onto uc
has to have an assessment 
(I did not want that at all
and actually have read different,.,
if your on esa
high rate)
They only seem to constantly contradict themselves 
esa still said there’s no desicion it’s with uc
uc said it’s with esa desicion maker 
cab said 
that I have to wait for the journal update
from uc as indicated u till March 5th
no body knows what this update is 
it’s now been 11 weeks
wirh no sick / esa element of uc
.
its very unerving ghat esa case manager told me last week that it was at the esa desicion makers last page 
and if here v soon 
today 
same thing again 
esa don’t no what I’m talking about,.
they said there’s no desicion here 
as the claim was closed down ,,
i asked why said coz I’m claiming u c ????
exhauated 
ive also anemia’s 

I’ve got banks statements of my old esa giong in find it difficult it’s been really hard
my mums helping bit 
but 
they all keep say different things all of the time 
my rents disallowed 
as my landlord is my son

Does anyone know if this is true that everyone transfers from esa to iv needs reassess?
as I be read there’s certain things where you don’t 
ie transferred over 
to Jc as s sick element

There is no requirement to be reassessed when migrating from ESA to UC.
however, the DWP can reassesses at anytime so your assessment may be due anyway

The Legal bit-
This is made quite clear in Regulation 19 of the Transitional Provisions Regulations 2014.
Transition from old style ESA
19.—(1) This regulation applies where–
(a) an award of universal credit is made to a claimant who was entitled to old
style ESA on the date on which the claim for universal credit was made or
treated as made (“the relevant date”); and
(b) on or before the relevant date it had been determined that the claimant was
entitled to the work-related activity component or to the support component.

(2) Where, on or before the relevant date, it had been determined that the claimant
was entitled to the work-related activity component–
(a) regulation 27(3) of the Universal Credit Regulations (award to include LCW
and LCWRA elements) does not apply; and
(b) the claimant is to be treated as having limited capability for work for the
purposes of regulation 27(1)(a) of those Regulations and section 21(1)(a) of
the Act.

(3) Unless the assessment phase applied and had not ended at the relevant date(a),
in relation to a claimant who is treated as having limited capability for work under
paragraph (2)–
(a) regulation 28 of the Universal Credit Regulations (period for which the LCW
or LCWRA element is not to be included) does not apply; and
(b) the LCW element is (subject to the provisions of Part 4 of the Universal
Credit Regulations) to be included in the award with effect from the beginning
of the first assessment period.

(4) Where, on or before the relevant date, it had been determined that the claimant
was entitled to the support component–
(a) regulation 27(3) of the Universal Credit Regulations does not apply; and
(b) the claimant is to be treated as having limited capability for work and workrelated
activity for the purposes of regulation 27(1)(b) of those Regulations
and section 19(2)(a) of the Act.
