universal credit - migration notice was created by headabovethewater
Any advice greatly received please..
I'm fairly new in esa support group
Pip , but having just done notified ar1 change am challenging award so Mr
And tax credits with husband
We've just received the dreaded universal credit migration letter with a notice to do it by April.
We've never been on universal credit so it's all new to me. Will it affect my esa / pip ? Does it mean more interviews?
Can I protect the small amount of tax credits we get monthly, I'm unsure and really don't want to mess it up by doing something wrong. I thought getting through esa and pip was bad enough, now I have pip mr and this 😕
Thank you for any advice or others experience/wisdom

Hi headabovethewater
We do not have all the relevant information to give you an accurate answer, I assume when you say that you are fairly new in ESA support group that you are in receipt of NS ESA, which is a CB benefit. If I am correct then your ESA will not be affected nor will be your PIP be affected. If you apply for UC then NS ESA will be taken into account £ for £.
UC migration affects means tested benefits such as Tax credits, HB, IR ESA, IR JSA.
I would advise you to seek advice from your local Welfare Rights Organisation; advicelocal.uk , they will be able to take all your circumstances into consideration.

Thank you for your advice, apologies I don't really understand all the terms. I think it is called new style esa - so that would be the ns esa? I don't get what the cb means? If the uc is £ for £ would that seem to suggest I probably won't end up with any 🤔

Hi H.A.T.W,
Could CB be child benefit ?

CB stands for Contribution Based, it means it is based on the claimant's NI Contribution history, CB benefits are not means tested, however, pension income can be deducted.
