If i am on ESA support group, if i get put in the WRAG group would that be a new claim or a transitional claim. Also would it be a change in circumstances which would mean automatic transition to Universal Credit, thank you.

Actually it is none of the above.

Being moved to the WRAG from the SG is a continuation of your current claim, it would not require you to claim UC at all.

However, you will be move to UC or what is called New ESA at some time in the future, but it is unlikely to be for a couple of years.
