ESA recipient migrating over to UC, just saying hello for now.

Hello everyone 😊

I am WillowPerch but you can call me Willow for short! This is a post to introduce myself and get accustomed to using this website, I've been a member on here since 2023 but have only recently started to visit here more often. I've been quite busy lately and have been meaning to write this post for a while but decided to take the time to write it today.

I've been in receipt of income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) for almost 10 years now, I was also receiving Personal Independence Payment (PIP) up until late 2023 when my PIP award was revoked due to insufficient evidence. Earlier this month, I received a letter informing me that I will be migrating over to Universal Credit (UC) soon and that I need to complete an online application to do so. I do feel worried about it but I am taking the process step-by-step to make sure that everything is done properly and to also ensure I have enough evidence if a Work Capability Assessment (WCA) is deemed necessary.

That is all for now! Thank you for taking the time to read this post! I look forward to taking part on this forum, speaking with those in the same boat as me, and finding out more information.

Hi David,
