Migrating and a few questions (eg moving from ESA support group, and meetings)

Hi all,

I had the ESA to UC letter yesterday and got the form filled in.

I have a couple of questions, though, please:

I’m moving from the ESA Support Group, but the last time I had a WCA was in 2018 - should I be prepared to be asked to have another since it’s been 6 years, or is it kind of random if I will?

I’ve read that getting the LCWRA payment means waiting 3 months and just getting the regular payment until then - does this apply to those of us migrating from the Support Group?

What happens at the first in-person meeting, and what type of questions should I expect, please? I’ve read mixed things as to whether you also have to have a phone call. Is that true, or instead of the in-person meeting?

Will I get a notification when my first UC payment is coming up?

For the final ESA payment two weeks after submitting the form - does this mean that my ESA payment that was due in one week, now won’t arrive for two weeks, or should I still expect it next Friday?

And my final question (sorry for so many!) is about the transitional protection - will this start with my first UC payment even if they decide I need another WCA before putting me in LCWRA?

Thank you for any thoughts on any of the questions, it’s much appreciated ☺️
