ESA Migration Faling, Now on New Style ESA. was created by TBA
My migration continues to get worse. After finally getting verified and moving on to UC, I received a phone call on Saturday regarding a phone interview for New Style ESA commitments. They checked with me that I had received a recent payment. Yes, I had, the same day I was UC verified, I had assumed it was the last of my ESA. I think they also tried to phone the previous Saturday.
I asked what it was about and was told it was about my New Style ESA commitments, as I was now on New Style ESA. She had read the bit about section 19 and support group transfers to whatever UC calls it, and said there would be no WCA or fit notes.
The interview is booked for late early next month. I’m unwell and getting worse at the moment and need to see my GP. But the situation with my GP is a disaster, I need to do stuff before to try and right the situation. I can not do anything about the GP until this is sorted. I was hoping to see my GP on 10/7 after online verification, but it failed badly. I am now looking at no GP till 15/8 minimum, and all while the GP situation becomes more complex.
I cannot do interviews, I failed a biographical phone interview they sneaked on me, despite my telling them about my declining mental functions. Also, I have physical failings now.
How can I cope with another interview?
Why on earth am I on new-style ESA? The best I’ve been able to work out is that it's something to do with contribution-based ESA, but I could not have been on contribution-based ESA, as contribution-based things only last for the first year, and I left that year behind a long time ago.
I’ve never even been on contribution-based ESA, as I was first on JSA for over a year before buckling, and having to apply for ESA. I was at first on contribution-based JSA, but after a year, I moved to income-related JSA. I remember it as it meant I could go to the dentist without having to pay.
What on earth is going on? I don’t understand this, please help.
I also thought the new style ESA payment was an old-style ESA payment because they paid it into the bank account I used to get my ESA paid into. However, I’ve asked for my UC to be paid into a different account.
What is going on?
If it is correct that I should be on the new-style ESA, then virtually everyone else should be, if I am. So why do they call it UC migration when it’s really new-style ESA migration?
What is going on?

Hi TBA
We have come across quite a few members in the same situation as yourself. When you claimed legacy ESA you were probably in receipt of ESA Support with disability premiums.
CB ESA is contribution based and you can be placed in the support group, if you were, then it is indefinite until you are next reassessed. If you were eligible to claim any disability premiums such as SDP and EDP then they would have been paid via IR ESA, so you could have been paid IR ESA and CB ESA together.
We would advise you to seek help and advice from your local Welfare Rights Organisation: advicelocal.uk. where they can take all your circumstances into consideration.
