IR ESA - Support?

Hi there, I am on IR ESA and PIP and on most occasions I am not able to move over my front door. When moving over to UC, will I have to attend a face to face interview at the Jobcentre? Am I classed as being in the support group for ESA? I'm not sure where I stand on this if I cannot physically make it to the Jobcentre! Also, what is the 'journal' used for? Is this for us to keep a record of our job searches, even though I am on the higher rate of PIP? Am I being forced to look for work in order to survive, even though I've been on PIP for a long term disability for years?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated - this is all extremely frightening!

Hi David, Thanks so much for getting back to me. My income related amount is £232.70, of which £21.20 is the Disability Income Guarantee.

Thank you. 👍
