Hi Poppy, yes I've been reading the legislation paper that was released, there's also a section that states we remain committed to ESA contribution related clients so by the time it becomes lawful or points made unlawful a lot could change. Hopefully those who are worried can stop stressing for now. 

Those claiming Contirbutions based/New style ESA will never be migrated to UC anyway. Only those claiming Income Related will eventually be migrated across.

Mmmm .......

But I've already been warned here about commenting on government/DWP policy.

You have to respect forum rules - so 'no comment'

There is no point really speculating but if you doubt NS-ESA will not be forced to claim UC, the White Paper about scrapping the WCA did explicitly say they're committed to keeping a contributory benefit.  Which would be extremely difficult to merge with UC, much simpler and cheaper to just keep the separate benefit even if the rules for it have to change a little without a WCA.
