Dear other Claimants, in the Member's guide for ESA to UC Migration, it says under the claimant commitment section:
No work-related requirements – you do not have to look for work, apply for jobs or do any preparation for a future return to work o If you transfer to UC from ESA that includes the support component, then you will be able to claim UC without having to satisfy any work-seeking activity and will be placed in the No work-related requirements group. You may still be required to undertake occasional telephone or face-to--face interviews with your Work Coach to check on your circumstances.
Has anyone migrated from Long term SG ESA, when they had no checkins other than re-assessments previously, but ended up facing more check-ins since being placed into LCWRA UC?
Good question, as I will be in that very position soon myself. Judging by the "occasional" phone calls ,I'd guess that would be to check your situation hadn't changed, As for further face to face interviews with a work coach, I'm not sure why you'd even need them. Again guessing it's just a heads up in case they need further info in the future. Maybe someone will give you a clearer idea ,I'm def no expert on UC it's all a learning curve I feel. Good luck.
