Possible assessment following migration from ESA support group to UC was created by Searching65
Hello,
I have recently submitted my online migration application from ESA (support group) to UC.
After my phone interview to verify my ID, I was told this was all they needed and was given the date of my first UC payment - a month from the biographical interview - and that I would remain in the support group. I was also told I would receive the same amount.
I have just checked the home page of the my UC online account and it says that I might need to be assessed and this might affect the money I would get.
I've never applied for PIP bc the initial ESA process was literal hell and I couldn't subject myself to any more stress.
Setting up a phone interview was an absolute nightmare. I'm really scared about what the assessment would entail. I'm very limited with what I can do and attending appointments is simply impossible.
Does anyone have any information on the assessment process, timeframe/adjustments I can request ... ?
I no longer have any support and DWP/JC have been incredibly difficult so far.
Many thanks

Hi Searching65
As you are already in the Support Group it is highly unlikely that you will be called for a WCA medical over the next 12 months as there is currently a 5 year backlog of WCA reviews reaching back to the start of the Covid pandemic.
