    I was reading on the government website you can submit your ID and it will be processed by online identity verification, I’m guessing this is just for photo ID . Anyone done this and not had to be called in for ID check ?

    I don't think I be better off, once the transition period goes down due to rent increases etc . Why can't it include the extra disability element we are getting at the moment. I have esa and housing benefit, going to ask if mine can be paid directly to the housing association.

    Also for you all to be aware its on the benefit and work site , that Labour have changed the WCA , that each region where you live has been assigned different companies, Wales and the Midlands which I am is Capita,

    What does that mean even tougher assessments rishi sunak doesn't have contracts with these ? Says has 750 million contract with dwp could be wrong

    Each area of the country will have the different companies do the WCA for Pip , Esa etc depending where you live

    Yes I know, my mental health has gone down hill , since all this came out. First pip, now this hurried migration. I am dreading the budget to see what else that Rachel reeves is going to do, the letter I got from starmer before the election treating disabled with dignity is a load of ****. He couldn't care less. Look at what they are doing to the pensioners. My older sister and brother in law depends on that , especially both with ill health. I am scared that something might happened due to that

    Timeline For Migrations.

    Tax credit claimants who also claim any of the other legacy benefits (including ESA) will be selected for the managed migration mainly during 2024. By the end of the 2024/25 tax year, most will have migrated to universal credit.

    People claiming other legacy benefits, but not ESA only or ESA plus housing benefit only, will also be selected for the managed migration exercise during 2024. By the end of the 2024/25 tax year, most will have migrated to universal credit.

    People claiming ESA only or ESA plus housing benefit (but not tax credits), will be selected for the managed migration exercise slightly later. At one point this was put back to the 2028/29 tax year but DWP have more recently announced they will be start to invite people claiming ESA or ESA plus housing benefit to claim universal credit from September 2024 with the aim of contacting everyone in this group by December 2025.

    Less than a year ago. I finally managed to get enhanced rate pip on both (after a long fight), with a light touch 10 review. How will migration impact me. I don't get housing benefit but I am considering applying for it, so wiil just that part be uc. I've just started getting my state pension and my partner gets state pension.

    Hello @hopeforall, as you and your partner are both above state pension age you won't be migrated across and will be able to claim Housing Benefit instead of Universal Credit.

    Thank you. So the pip won't be migrated either

    That's correct. PIP does not get migrated for anyone. That remains a totally separate benefit.

    Adrian and Overlyanxious. Thank you. That information is a great help and is very reassuring.
