But that group can move to UC at any time they want and get more money, no need to wait till 2028.calcotti said:It’s the opposite. People on UC LCWRA get more money that people on ESA Support Group (unless eligible for SDP). Delaying migration of this group therefore saves the government money. Otis avert specific Group, those on ESA or ESA and HB only.

Every programme to move claimants from one benefit to another has taken years longer than the original date. I don't think there is any great conspiracy going on with this announcement. Even 2028 is likely to be aspiration rather than expectation.
