hi im on ESA support group and also get tax credit/pip and child benefit,i have to change to UC by 31st october so will apply the middle of october.Can anybody tell me do you have to fill out all medical conditions/perscriptions etc even though im switching from ESA to UC Ive been told i wont have to submit fit notes and need to put on my journal that i should get transitional protection but wondering if i have to go through lots of ??? about my health

many thanks

You'll be transferred without needing an assessment and will be in LCWRA / support group (regulation 19)

Iam on esa support group, I had to migrate to uc on Monday, had an id review at jobcentre today. And have been told I need a fit note & a work interview on Friday? But I was made to believe I would not have to do any of that as I was in esa support group? Does anyone know how to help or what should I do?

When you make the Uc claim there is a section on your health conditions. I would still fill this out so they have a record of your conditions. As advised i would then leave a journal note saying you are in ESA support group .

oh god this is what im afraid of but everybody says the same about no sick notes for esa support nut i have heard some working for the dwp are poorly trained and dont know as much as they should,let us know how you get on,

All sorted as far as I'm aware. Altho I did get a sick note. I didn't tell them that, I got told in the end I didn't need one. It did take the manager to sort it. Altho I now have telephone meetings every 5 weeks. Not sure if I have gone into a universal group or not I suppose i will find out when my payment shows at the beginning of November
