    Which ESA are you on? Is it income-based? Or new-style contribution-based?

    That's a but rude, I was asking which ESA you're on so I could give you the right answer. I'm not answering you if you're going to be demanding and rude.

    Hello everyone, I am hoping that someone could help me because I am a bit confused about what I might get if I am migrated to uc. I will try and explain my current situation, I am 1 year away from drawing my state pension so I am aware at that point my current benefits will cease. So I am currently on cb esa which gives me a small weekly amount and housing benefit I am on the support group and although I don't want to give a precise amount from my 2 occupational pensions I do receive slightly ove 1000 a calendar month. Where I am confused is when I put all my details into a benefits calculator it tells me that I am not entitled to uc because I get too much money while making no mention of the fact that migrating should not leave me worse off than before which if true would do so. I am led to believe that as a result of being in the support group I would be entitled to LCWRA and housing element , I would be grateful if anyone could give me some guidance on this matter.

    Thinking you in advance
