Hi, can anybody help me?
I currently receive ESA, support group and have done so for many years. I also receive PIP and my husband, carers allowance for being my carer. I need to inform them of adding my husbands name to mine (making it double barrelled) which will create a change of circumstances. I’m in a panic of going on to universal credit. Will I be worse off? And will I have to do a wca?
I’m so stressed 😥

A name change is not classed as a change of circumstances that will prompt a move to UC. You will not need another WCA either.You just need to ring them to report the name change.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.
