Due to moving area I have to have a UC assessment tomorrow . I have been in the support group for ESA. I am wondering about the process of being transferred to the equivalent group in the UC.
In the post from WillH at https://www.rightsnet.org.uk/forums/viewthread/11506/#53348 he says “Going back to getting the LCWRA component included - for people transferring from ‘old style’ ESA the UC (TP) Regs are pretty clear. Reg 19. Where it’s already been determined that they are in the support group they should be treated as having limited capability for work-related activity & the component can be included immediately.”
However I am not sure how this tallies with http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2014/1230/pdfs/uksi_20141230_en.pdf 15/36
Further to that thread at rightsnet it suggests there can be a delay in support group status being confirmed due to the system being poorly managed.
