It's a transitional migration, they know I'm on IR esa and have told me to move to UC? What does this mean? And am I supposed to do something?
I have little faith any of it will go smoothly...it worries me and stresses me out?
thanks

Some other benefits can affect how much Universal Credit you get. You can continue to claim these benefits, but we will adjust your Universal Credit payment. Your statement shows you how we do this.
Our records show that you are getting: Employment and Support Allowance
If you think this is wrong If you no longer get this benefit you should contact the office you claimed it from. Tell them you're now getting Universal Credit and to update their records.
Benefits that can affect Universal Credit are: Jobseeker's Allowance Employment and Support Allowance Carer's Allowance Carer Support Payment Maternity Allowance Bereavement Allowance (including Widowed Parent's Allowance) Widow's Pension (including Widowed Mother's Allowance) State Pension Incapacity Benefit Severe Disablement Allowance Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit If you are also getting one or more of these benefits as well as the ones we already know about, you must contact the office you claim them from. Tell them you're now getting Universal Credit and to update their records.
It's saying that if you have any of the other benefits listed, you need to inform the particular departments that you are now receiving universal credit. If you don't receive any of the others there is nothing for you to do.
