ESA to UC migration - Council Tax query was created by Searching65
Hello,

Truly sorry if this has been asked and answered before - I've tried searching the forum but I have severe reading difficulties so very limited in what I can read particularly online.

I'm currently migrating from ESA support group to UC (online application submitted and id verified). I was initially told I would stay in the support group and receive same amount, and first payment would be made in December. However I expect this to be delayed due to a fit note being requested.

My questions are about council tax. Will my CT reduction entitlement be reduced now that I'm migrating to UC? Do I need to inform the council that I'm migrating? If so, when?

My council is incredibly difficult to deal with and dishonest. I need to arm myself with proper information and official sources before I approach them.

Grateful for any advice.

Many thanks

Hi Searching65

You will need to inform the Council Tax department of your local council when you receive your first UC payment.
Which council are you with ?
