Hi I have had to transfer from Contribution ESA to UC due to me being on housing benefits.
After a fight I’ve got UC to add Rule 19 as I’m in support group on ESA so they now agree I don’t have to send in Fit notes .. and my commitment didn’t state any work related rules ..
however I’m now bring told that because of my UC migration I now have to transfer from Contiribution based ESA to New style ESA .. I have to have a tel interview for this next week and they state on letter that I will have to
(1) explain how my disability / illness effects my ability to work ..
(2) provide medical proof of this
And (3) agree to tell them if my circumstances chsnge .
Ok (3) makes sense but I’m already in the support group for ESA and have been for years why am I being asked to explain it all over again and to provide evidence again when I’m already in support group .. I never requested to transfer from contribution based ESA to new style ESA it was triggered by my UC transfer .. can they make me do this all over again , I’m protected on UC transfer as I’m in ESA support group but seems I’m not protected by any changes triggered at ESA ??






that I will have to provide medical evidence .., and
