Hi nonsmoker2008
Relevant legislation if you were getting old-style employment and support allowance (ESA)
Reg 19(1), (4)(b) and (5)(b) of the Universal Credit (Transitional Provisions) Regulations 2014, which provides that a UC claimant who was entitled to ESA immediately before claiming UC and who had been, in respect of ESA, determined to have LCWRA or is treated as having LCWRA (ie, had been placed in the ESA support group), must be treated as having LCWRA from the outset of their UC award and the LCWRA element must be included in their UC from the outset.
As for the claimant commitment, I would contact UC help line for advice.

I think that the fix that was supposed to be in place isn't working properly. A colleague called UC for a client who was asked for a fit notes and was told that they should contact ESA as the problem was at their end.
