UC managed migration guide
Comments
-
To be clear have you received a migration letter? If so then it's because the migration for ESA claimants has changed from 2028/29 to anytime from now until end of December 2025. You must claim UC by the date in the letter.
Edit to add, I also commented on your thread here.

That letter is just offering you help with the migration to Universal Credit.
For now you just need to wait until you get the letter from DWP.

I just finished filling in my universal credit migration online forms but a bit confused cos it's saying about a work coach but I am currently on ESA in the support group? Anybody shed any light on this?
0 -
UC will not know that you are in the Support Group for ESA until they send your details across. You will need to make sure you put a message onto your journal to tell them.
It may also ask you to provide a fit note but this isn't needed due to being in the Support Group. It will take a few weeks for your claim to be updated with the information from ESA.
You will likely be asked to attend your first appointment at your local job centre as well. If you're unable to attend due to your health conditions you can ask for a reasonable adjustment for a telephone call.

hi poppy123456 I get esa my claim was moved over from income support it was be 2017 I don’t have to look for work but i can’t find any on my benefits letter to support group or anything plus I live in sheltered house do I need to to put that on my claim

How much ESA do you receive every week? that will give me some idea which group you maybe in.
Rent for sheltered housing is paid in with Universal Credit known as housing element. Housing benefit would only continue if you're living in supported housing. (or temporary housing)

Thank poppy 123456we receive £692.80 every fortnight

That amount must include couples SDP is that correct?
If you were in the Support Group your fortnightly amount would be more like £733. It could still be the Support Group if there’s deductions for something. If there’s no deductions then it’s likely to be the WRAG.
To know for sure you can either ring them to ask or look at your most recent letter with the full breakdown. If it says Support Group component on it then it’s Support Group. If it doesn’t then it’s the WRAG.

What does that for me as I don’t understand thank you

should of said that my wife claims carers allowance

Are you 100% sure that your ESA is £692 a fortnight? Or is that the total amount of benefits you receive?
I think the best thing to do is ring ESA and ask them which group you are in and they will tell you.

That didn't take long just got appointment at local job centre next Wednesday. I just wrote on my journal that I got mental health issues and find it hard being round people. It's say it's a appointment for identification checks. I wrote as well that I am on ESA and in the support group.

Everyone has to verify ID for Universal Credit, even when migrating from legacy benefits.
If you can manage a Job Centre visit then that's the quickest way to do it. But if not, you can request a home visit or a biographical phonecall instead.

Got appointment tomorrow I am starting to get really anxious now. Didn't sleep a wink cos constantly over thinking like I always do. I have taken my medication this morning but taken diazepam as well but I try not to but I really need to.

What's the appointment for? Is it because you've recently claiming Universal Credit?
0 -
Yeah got a letter to migration from ESA.
0 -
If the appointment is in person then you ask for a reasonable adjustment for a telephone appointment.
If you are in the Support Group for ESA then your UC will include the LCWRA element from the start of your claim.
If you haven't done this already please put a message onto your journal and tell them which group you were in for ESA. You do not need to provide a fit note.
