Hopefully we've all migrated over before this happens? It could mean some of us who are in the ESA SG won't meet the criteria as we are seen as new UC claimants?

It is actually going to be like it was for DLA and PIP. That ceased and you had to claim a totally new benefit. The aim was to save money.

It's always about saving money, never about helping.
