    You will not receive payment for the first 7 days of your claim. After this you will receive £84.80/week, paid fortnightly. It may take a few weeks to receive your first payment. (If entitled to payments) 

    I also note that from a previous thread you’re also claiming Universal Credit. This means that you won’t be financially better off by claiming ESA because it’s deducted in full from any UC entitlement. Though there are some advantages to claiming ESA, such as class 1 NI credits and it’s not means tested like UC is. 

    I also see that you were found to have LCWRA for UC. This means if entitled to payments for ESA your money will increase to £129.50/week from the 14th week of your claim. However, the amount deducted from UC will also increase.
