confused about migrating from ESA
Hi I'm Amanda joined this forum as I have physical and mental health conditions in chronic pain most days.. I'm confused re all new rules and regulations about migration from my ESA and Pip and I'm pretty sure I'm not receiving enough money I'm struggling a lot money wise and scared that I I'll loose my council flat.. as I have bedroom tax to pay and big rooms that are hard to heat I've heard that this is a great organisation t receive practical help from .. nice to meet u all.. btw...Amanda

Hi,
PIP isn't being migrated, that stays exactly the same as it was.
Income related ESA & Housing Benefit get migrated to Universal Credit.
Have you already started the migration process or now about to start it?

Hey @AmandaJayne300, welcome to the community 😊 It certainly can be quite confusing, you aren't alone there. We will try to answer your questions as best we can though 🙂 As OverlyAnxious has said, your PIP will not be changing at all. We do have an advice section on migration to UC, you may want to read up about it here: Moving to Universal Credit and transitional protection | Disability charity Scope UK
If you do have any specific questions please do just ask!
