UC and ESA was created by Help-needed!
Hi I’ve migrated from ESA support group to UC and all seemed it went well, just had first statement and it seems I’m getting the new style ESA but I haven’t worked for some years so should I qualify for it?
Thanks sasha.

Hi help-needed
The best thing you can do is to put a query in your journal. The DWP are the ones to confirm what you qualify for.

Hi
I haven't submitted my form yet (deadline 11th July). A lot of people are only just realising when they transfer from ESA to UC that they were previously on both contributory (now called New Style) ESA and Income Related ESA.
I haven't worked for many years but I still get NI Contributions paid on my behalf from the DWP, you can actually check on Gov.Uk website.
I suspect that I will also be transferred to New Style ESA with a UC income related top up.
There are quite a few posts on here about this, you could maybe try using the search option at the top right hand corner?
It's all so confusing isn't it?
Good Luck
