On income based JSA, to apply for income based ESA was created by Catherine Constantinou
On income based JSA, and plan to apply for income based ESA, but wonder if it would be worth doing as income based ESA will become Universal Credit allowance in the same way income based JSA is to, so will there be any advantages to receiving income based ESA before the change to Universal Credit?

Universal Credit currently has a list of people who cannot claim it that is at least five times longer than those who can, it includes those on or about to claim ESA, based on their current progress ESA claimants won't have to worry about UC for several years.

Only Income Based ESA will be moved to UC but this will not happen for some time, if you are declaring yourself unfit for work then you are barred from claiming UC at the moment.
