CB ESA Support Group - UC Migration?

Hi, I’ve been under the impression that people on CB ESA in the Support Group would not be migrated to UC. Is this still correct? Someone recently told me that I will be moved onto UC eventually, which I haven’t been preparing myself for. Can anyone confirm? Thanks.

Hi Phoebe

You will be migrated if you receive any of the Legacy Benefits such as Housing Benefit but not if you only receive Contributions Based ESA.

Has this changed, do you know? I can’t find any information about legacy CB ESA Support Group in Labour’s proposals.

Hi Phoebe

Here is a summary of yesterday's speech.

There’s nothing there about CB ESA Support Group.

Hi Phoebe

If there is nothing there as you say then your question has been answered.
