All affected claimants will have been issued with migration notices by December?

Can anyone help clarify this for me?

The newsletter says that 'All affected claimants will have been issued with migration notices by December 2025' but that the migration from ESA to UC will happen in September 2024 - I don't understand this. If the migration starts this year, how can we be notified in the future?

And, how can we find out if we're due to be migrated in September? I know all ESA will be migrated to UC but I'd like to know if there's a way to find out when, roughly, this will happen.

Thanks

Dear BIS,

Do you know if the ESA migration notice to UC to start in September 2024 that they hope to complete by Dec 2025:
- will affect ESA claimants only
- or ESA claimants with Child Benefit?
- or both?

Thank you.
Kind wishes.

I have problems with reading (dyslexia and adhd, suspected autism) but I'm not awarded any points for them - no joke.

I have every day problems with filling in forms, understanding them and understanding instructions etc all the time. I've presented evidence of diagnosis to the DWP but they've ignored it with every review. I've always been too afraid to fight it because I'm already awarded higher points.

Wish I could show them the number of times I've misunderstood or misread things!

Thanks for the reply and answer.

This is interesting: 'The managed migration of claimants of income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) only, or incomed-related ESA and Housing Benefit, has been delayed until 2028/29. This will involve around 600,000 households.' from the link you posted.

This seems to say that those on IR-ESA AND HB will be migrated in 2028/29, but everyone else will be migrated by 2025.

Am I missing something (possible)? This seems to be different to what the newsletter says.
