Voluntarily Coming Off TC to save ESA claim

My understanding is that in around 2024 people will be migrated over to UC from ESA. conts.

I don't qualify for UC at present due to my wife working full time and savings.

Is it a good idea to come off TC voluntarily so I won't be hounded by the UC team to move over and then nullify my claim?

Thanks

Hi hope i dont have my wires crossed

re Gordons above reply
Claimants with an ESA Contribution claim only will not be migrated to UC, it is only means-tested ESA that will be moved.

I thought the ESA to UC was postponed until 2026

I received the universal credit migratory leaflet from HMRC.

How long would it take to get the UC forms?

Thanks

Hi

I have now received my migratory letter inviting me to claim UC online.

So far to date I have not been able to get an answer to my initial questions(s) which is as follows:

I get ESA Cont (support group) PIP and child tax credits.

If I don't put in a claim for UC will I still retain my ESA conts?

Thanks for reading this and I appreciate everyone is busy but I would appreciate a simple answer to my question?
