Home visit for ESA to UC managed migration was created by cats6
What's the actual process!?
I cannot get a home visit!!
I managed to get a month's extension
I have one week left on that !!
At the same time as the extension I requested a home visit and was assured this information would be passed to the relevant team.
I'm now traumatized and afraid of loosing my claim after today's phone calls to the DWP.
I received a phone call which the caller ended before starting..
It has now taken me over 2 hours to try and sort something out.
First call I made, a northern Ireland call centre,, she had zero idea of why I was being rang by the DWP.
And told me I cannot have a home visit to start my claim .
Passed me to the jobcentre where a robot ended the call.
I rang again, and was given jobcentre numbers and told the call this morning was a check to make sure I'm still around! Eh 🤔
And that there are no home visits to make a claim just a welfare visit to tell me what to do or where to go to make a UC claim.
And I would be best to make a phone claim or contact the JC for advice!!
The phone claim can take up to 30 mins
I would be hard pressed to cope with that length of time,
I also expressed that to the call handler.
I argued that I'm virtually housebound, conditions since birth,, on the managed migration and the DWP/ESA department hold all this information re home visits .
( Just to note the first time I rang them for the extension, on and off it took over a month to get it,, I was given the run around, spoke to several call handlers in the UC department before being granted permission to speak with a manager.. Not one of them were professional!
And I was left wondering who needed help more them or myself!

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

Hi cats6
Universal Credit Managed Migration is a matter of concern for a lot of members of the Benefits and Work forum.
Are you aware of the assistance you can get from the Citizens Advice Help to Claim service?
Here is a description from one of our members.

Let us know how you get on.

Thanks but after reading the post
it's of no use, re home visits.
