ESA (IR)-UC: Looking ahead

Looking ahead to the eventual migration notice, I have read the questioned that appear online when making a claim. One is whether the claimant has a disability, illness or on-going health condition that makes it difficult to work, or look for work. Two queries:

1. How much space is given online to fully state and explain diagnosed issues?

2. Is the claimant expected to scan and upload relevant paperwork?

I do not hold a passport. I do not travel anywhere now. Is it worth my while making a passport application to simplify what I think will be my toughest benefit change to date?

Thanks,

Dear Gary,

I wrote my question badly for which I apologise.

I claim IR ESA with SDP. I am aware current claimants IR ESA will be subject to managed migration to UC. In response to the migration notice letter, the claim has to be made online within three months of the date of the letter.

Hence, my reference to the questions that appear online at this point.
One question is whether the claimant has a disability, illness or on-going health condition that makes it difficult to work, or look for work. I will find this initial online claim process very, very difficult because of my disability.

Two queries:

1. How much space is given online to fully state and explain diagnosed issues?

2. Is the claimant expected to scan and upload relevant paperwork?

I would certainly never be able to complete a full UC50 online.

Thanks again,

Mari
