Universal Credit migration to do list was created by rik
Hi
In the process of filling in uc application form and we are a bit stuck on what to answer in the last two to do things in my partners account
My partner is part of my ESA claim so in the question "are you currently receiving employment and support allowance"
Do we tick the yes or no box?
In the caring for someone question is it worth mentioning that they have cared for me for many years or should we tick no as I have never claimed dla or pip and it seems caring for for me will have no bearing on their side of the claim?
In the previous health to do question we have listed all my partners health conditions that their ability to work
Thanks
Rik

Hi rik
Your claim is a joint one; therefore, you have to say yes to the ESA question.
If your partner cares for you, you should say yes, regardless of whether you have claimed PIP. It could have bearing eg a member this week was told they would not be required to look for work because it was accepted they cared for their partner

Thanks BIS
I think I have read a few answers to posts on here that if you are migrating from esa support group you are not obliged to give information about health issues on the universal credit application form is this the case?
Thanks

Hi rik
The form asks for a list of medical conditions regardless of whether you are migrating from the ESA support group. It is up to you whether you want to include that information. It is literally a list—nothing else - you don't have to explain anything or say when you were diagnosed.
