    Had my Biographical telephone appointment lasted about 15 minutes, answered name/dob/security question for online UC account, national insurance number. Advisor said he can see I am on ESA Support Group with SDP/EDP and that will now be transferred over to UC once they've gotten the information passed over from the ESA department should receieve a commitment message in my journal within 1 week that I have to access and confirm. Pretty straight forward reckon I was worrying abit too much

    I'm glad to hear that you found it straight forward @Housebound94! I hope that you're able to relax this weekend, now :)

    So my claim for UC was started on the 10th Jan, had my Biographical appointment 13th which the agent who did the telephone call put on my journal that he can see I am in receipt of ESA SG, does anyone have an idea how long it takes for the ESA SG to be transferred over UC?

    It should hopefully be done by the time you have your first statement. Your assessment periods are 10th to 9th of each month. Your first payment will be 16th Feb and you should receive your statement around 3 or 4 days before that. Check your statement when you have it.

    In the meantime once the details have been passed across your commiments will change and you'll need to agree to them. So that will be an indication it's completed.

    So am I worrying too much with it only being a week after my identity confirmation appointment?

    Yes. You won't really know for certain until you have your first statement.

    Finally got my claiment commitment through yesterday morning, 2 weeks after my Biographical appointment. All work related things have been removed from my online UC account so I'm guessing that's confirmation ESA has been transferred over. I took out a advance few days after I applied for UC which was for £334, upon checking my available advance now says I'm eligible for another £354... So that should be the LWCRA. I've added a note into my journal to ask if the SDP element has been added to my claim so will have to wait till Monday to check but all running smoothly so far

    Hmm abit confused thought my ESA would continue to be paid for 2 weeks after signing up for UC, so claim started 10th Jan, 13th Jan Biographical appointment, 27th claimant commitment and work related things turned off in the online UC account. Yet today I got paid my full ESA SG £409.50? Weird

    That sounds like a mistake. Your last ESA payment was on 17th January? You should then have had a further payment for another 7 days not a full fortnightly payment. 

    As previously advised, if some of the ESA is contribution based it will continue at £235.20/fortnight (but will be deducted from the UC).

    Typo, that should be £235.20/fortnight.

    Thanks, poppy (don't know how I managed that). I'll ask moderators to correct.

    So you will get ESA payments but not as much as you used to get.

    No, not for your housing element. This doesn't affect your ESA.

    I meant just to notify them of address change as the ESA department are still paying my CB based ESA?

    Ok I've just rung the ESA department and the automated service said my next ESA payment is 14th of Feb for £235.20 that sounds right?
