Hi there
I hope everyone is keeping well. Many thanks for the staff running this website which has brought me success with my PIP and ESA.

Anyway myself and my wife have migrated to UC. I am on LCWRA and my wife is my carer. She is a dinner supervisor working over an hour daily and sometimes overtime. We are planning to go on holiday abroad for 10 days.

I would like to know whether we are supposed to notify UC that I we're going on holiday abroad.

Going through the different posts regarding going abroad, it seems members have different responses because probably everyone's situation is individual.

Your advice will be much appreciated.
Thank you
Zee

Hi Ziyaad

UC agents are snowed under at present with thousands of Migration claims and enquiries. The last thing they want is unnecessary information regarding holidays abroad which are less than 1 month. There is a lot of misinformation online....just ignore it!

Hello I was switched to UC from ESA Support Group recently and my Claimant Agreement says I should let UC know if I was going abroad for any reason. You are allowed a holiday of course (up to 28 days usually) but you must let them know. Receipt of UC is conditional on residing in the UK and complying with the regulations.
Best to jot a quick note in your Journal to let them know. What have you got to lose??

Hi Zee
I think you should let them know via your online journal. UC says to let them know, please don't get caught out.
