Urgent Query re. ESA to UC Managed Migration - Extension needed

Hi,

Please can anyone advise me on requesting an extension for my ESA to UC managed migration application?

I've had a difficult time with my health recently (flare-up of long term condition) and am struggling to to get everything organised to apply for UC. (Still to open UC account).

My IR ESA (Support Group) is due to finish and I need to apply for UC by end of this month.

This morning I have been sent a text from DWP saying that they will call me in next few days.
The date/time was not given, although the phone number the call will come from was provided.

I am often not well enough for phone calls and am feeling completely overwhelmed and am concerned that I will have to apply for UC over the phone when I am not prepared.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi QWERTY

You, or someone on your behalf, needs to ring and ask for an extension. Be aware that they are unlikely to give you more than two weeks. You can ring and ask for a second extension, but they aren't granting many of those. Tell them about your health and tell them they need to make reasonable adjustments for you.
