Hello,

I was on esa and in support group and my wife has been my carer (non paid) full time.

We got the ESA to UC migration letter and we did joint application last week.

However my wife is now being asked to attend job center commitment interview and provide any fit notes

However Since i have been on ESA support group and transitioning to LWCRA (presumably) does she need to attend this? if so what can she say? I am worried they will try to make her look for work and i won't have anyone to care for me.

causing me anxiety.

Hi stan

A lot of couples have suddenly found one partner is being asked to provide a fit note, but they shouldn't be. Put in your journal that your wife is your full-time carer and you understand that, as such, she does not need to provide a fit note.
