Hi,As you were previously in the Support Group for ESA then DWP should honour that decision and give you LCWRA but this can take a few weeks for them to send the information across. If they haven't done this within a few weeks then you need to contact ESA and ask them to send the information to UC. Then ring UC or put a note on your journal telling them you were in the Support Group for ESA.Any money owed will be back dated. Any money received from ESA after you claimed UC will be deducted from your UC.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
