Don't know if this is the right board for this topic.

Finally received the letter telling me I have to apply for Universal Credit. I have to claim by 22nd July.

I've seen information on other posts/forums on working out the best time to apply, based on the timing of current ESA payments. I'm totally lost with all this, can't think clearly at the best of times.

Has anyone been through this and does anyone have any useful advice??

I'll be contacting the CAB next week but thought it wouldn't hurt to see if people on here could offer any insight!

I think you can on UC if you are below the income requirement. I’m not sure how other support benefits affect things as I’ve not needed them.
