    Support Group equivalent of UC is LCWRA, Limited capability for work related activity. For this you will need to first send in those fit notes, then they will send you the UC50 form. similar to ESA50. You will fill this out, send it back with all the evidence, they will then send you for an asssessment. Very similar to ESA.

    If you applied after April 2017 and get LCW (limited capability for work) WRAG then there is no extra money. Hope this helps.
