Hi, I was awarded UC LCWRA in May 2024. I have since realised I might need to apply for ESA, as I would like to be able to save up for a housing deposit, etc., at some point. Since my last assessment was last year and my circumstances are the same, can I get into the ESA support group without having to undergo an assessment?

Hi NotLikely

Yes,if you apply for New Style ESA you will be in the Support Group but the ESA payments will be deducted from your UC.
