I have a client on new style ESA and housing costs covered by UC.
She has not yet had her assessment and has been told that her ESA will end after 365 days (as she has no support component) but she is still in the assessment phase.
Questions:
should this be extended under the current circumstances OR
Does UC just pick up the process? -  which seems wrong to me.
Any pointers appreciated.

Many thanks,

Elaine
