Hello all
Just a quick question about UC, When you apply for wrag or support group UC do you fill out the online form and give details of your symptoms etc.. in the online form and how do you send medical evidence in. very confused about how I will be assessed as I have never had a medical
Will you beable to send in medical evidence paper based as I have good paper based evidence
Also will you not be required to attend a medical if they can decide on your online claim.
Not really sure how it works
Thanks I know you dont really comment on UC but other forums dont seem to know so asking here

OK, the first thing to say is that you cannot claim ESA under UC at the moment, in fact it is becoming increasingly likely that this will not happen until 2015.
Your application is no different than it is now, you fill in acclaim form for UC, then you will be sent an ESA50 to explain your limitations, the initial claim form will capture some information about your health, but not much more than the ESA1 does now.
