Do I need to have ID? UC Managed Migration

Thanks for explaining @OverlyAnxious that's made me feel a little less anxious.

Would you suggest my son calls them about it with it being 7 days tomorrow or should we wait a bit longer? He doesn't like using the phone much either.

Thanks again.

Thank you, we'll wait until Friday :)

Ok thank you Poppy, it's just a little worrying and making my anxiety worse.

Another update, so I checked my journal again, the appointment was cancelled and a lady responded to my message and said

"we will look into booking you a home visit. please be aware that due to the number of home visits being requested, the wait can be up too 8 weeks. I will book you a phone appointment called a BIO. if you pass that then you won't need a home visit but we will explain this at the phone appointment. please be available to take the call when its booked. regards."

I now have a bio appointment booked for tomorrow morning at 9:25am, glad it's early, it means I won't have much time to get overly anxious!

Hi, I wonder if someone can help me, please?

When I applied to migrate I let them know my 31 year old son lives here and that I have no dependants, I then received an amount that they were going to pay for rent which was wrong, so I left a note in my journal because the housing services from the council that help with migration thought that they might be charging me bedroom tax, so I told them that I receive PIP which they know anyway but it's what I was advised to say and that my son lives with me, he is my carer and receives carers allowance and he should be disregarded for council tax and rent and the response was: -

Universal Credit are currently awaiting a Specialist Section to verify the People in your Household (Dependant Children)

Once they complete their actions your Universal Credit Housing Element entitlement will be recalculated.

Is this normal?! I let her know that I don't have dependants but they ought to already know that from when I applied, unless she meant non dependants?

Ahh I see, so she meant non dependants? Thanks for explaining, I hope it doesn't take too long.

To be fair, apart from them missing what I said in my journal about home visits, it's gone quite smoothly so far. I was able to sign the commitment agreement online so the appointment was cancelled for that. I just have to wait for the rent to be sorted? I was offered an advance but I don't need one, I put money to one side just in case.

Thanks again Poppy!

Oooh a new cat picture? Very cute cat! I've never been a big cat person after what happened to the one we had years ago, always dogs, but I adopted a dog and fostered a cat last year, the dog went a bit pear shaped but we ended up adopting the cat, I believe he's a BSH colour point? I don't even know if I got that right but he's a lovely grey colour (sometimes looks brown) with dark paws, ears and nose, he's gorgeous! I love him to bits.

Sorry about the change of topic there lol.

Thanks, yeah I did explain he was my carer and receives carers allowance, I don't need to mention that he receives UC as well do I? He recently migrated from IS.

Siamese are beautiful, I remember my aunt having one when I was a child, she'd come and sit on my knee and give it a good knead lol.

I've only ever had 3 cats including Bronn. They were beautiful cats as well.

If I could figure out how to put a profile picture on here I'd upload one of Bronn.

He's very placid, doesn't really like to sit on you much, but does like to be around us, very spoilt boy but he deserves it, I think eventually I'm going to get another dog, a Lab probably, we lost our last Lab, Suzie last year, due to vet incompetence, I was very close to her, still miss her now, it's impacted my mental health to be honest. They aren't pets really, they are family members :)

Ok thanks again!

Bronn's about 5kg, excuse the first pic, he looks grumpy lol, he's not really a grumpy cat! Also, he changes colour often, sometimes his points look darker.

Anytime Poppy! He makes us smile all of the time.

Just a quick question, is there any way of telling if ESA have sent your details over to UC?

So when I initially started migrating the to do list had work search on it, then on Friday when I had the bio interview and passed that, as I said further up the women made the commitment interview or whatever it's called and said she'd book it for 2 weeks ahead and said hopefully we will receive your details quickly, she said once they did that appointment would then be cancelled, it was cancelled later that day and I signed the commitment thing online and the work search in the to do list disappeared, does that means they already have the details about my ESA SG or won't I be able to tell until the let me know how much I'll be paid?

I hope I explained that properly.
