I am on UC and new style ESA

Hi richmond,

I believe (from what I've read on here) that people are sent transition letter to help them move over to UC within 3 months, or the ESA is stopped if you haven't done this. I'm not overly sure the exact rules, but this is something I remember reading - hopefully someone will know if I'm correct or I need correcting.

As for PIP, hundreds of thousands, if not millions of us are all suffering high levels of stress in relation to the concern over the possible PIP money/Voucher replacement scheme, as of yet though, nothing has been decided, so the PIP money should still keep entering your bank account until further notice.

If you are already on UC then your ESA is not going to be migrated to it as it must be Contribution Based ESA which is an entirely separate benefit.

Hi Gordon,

That's something else I had no idea about with ESA that there's seperate benefits. Everything seems so complex in this country at times!
