Hi cdt2112,

You are not obliged to take any action at present. You will be informed by letter when changes to your Benefits will take place and for most people it is not advisable to claim UC voluntarily.
If your condition is worsening , you may be entitled to the higher rates of DLA or PIP. It would be best if you received detailed advice from a local Benefits Advice agency regarding your personal situation.

Hope this helps, David
