esa to universal credit was created by Ridcully
I am currently claiming esa and am in the support group, I had the wca a year ago and from what my medical report says I don't think I will be having another in the near future. will I be affected by the accelerated roll-out of universal credit due to begin this month in my area?

No you won't be effected in the short term, existing ESA claimants will not begin transferring to UC for at least two years and possibly a lot longer. The only exception would be if you have to make a claim for UC for other reasons, for example you move from one Local Authority to another and are claiming Housing Benefit.
