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.

Hi @Greentench. There are other ways to verify your identity, such as online or over the phone. I would ask them for a reasonable adjustment if you're unable to attend in-person.

That's to confirm your identity, which can definitely be done through a telephone call.

Do you think it's too late now to ask? Cos appointment is 11am in morning?

Just got a email saying that on my universal credit journal that I got appointment by phone this Friday to agree a new style employment and support allowance commitment? Don't really understand this cos I was in the understanding that if I was in the support group I didn't need to do this?? I am really confused and very anxious.

This means that pre migration, part of your ESA was Contributions Based.
It now has converted automatically into New Style ESA, and will be paid separately from UC, fortnightly at a rate of £276.40.
This will be deducted in full (598.68) from each UC payment.
As UC is a monthly benefit and ESA weekly, the numbers may initially look wrong, but are in fact right.
You will be in the Support Group for NS ESA, the commitment is usually a formality of you agreeing to keep them informed of any changes.

If any part of an ESA award was Contributions Based, then upon migration it will convert to NS ESA as I explained above.
The person I replied to was in the Support Group, and it applies to the Work Related Activity Group also.

As contributions based (CB) is only paid for 1 year, it’s highly unlikely that someone in the WRAG would be claiming part CB. It would usually be all Income Related.

If any part of your Support Group ESA is Contributions Based, then upon migration to UC it will convert to New Style ESA and be paid at a rate of £276.40 a fortnight.
£598 would then be deducted from each monthly UC award.

That’s Support Group contributions based/New style.
As your ESA includes the SDP and EDP then at least part of it will be Income Related.
If you want to know what your claim is made up of you can ring ESA and they should be able to tell you whether it’s all Income Related or part contributions based.

I'm hoping mine won't come yet, as I'm waiting 100 years for this Esa 50 form to be sorted. It's ridiculous why they sent so many out, if was going to be back logged. I'm hoping mine will be paper based as I sent enough evidence, like my pip review was

I just don't want to deal with it even getting letters for housing benefit stressed me so much fingers crossed it comes must be very stressful

Yes , I rang up the dwp and there you press 1 if you sent a esa form in, it just wait until contacted. I think changing the assessors as well has caused part of it, as that had to sorted out.
Liz Kendal should put Dwp shou all migration on hold until the dwp is reformed.
