I'm afraid you'll have to wait until Thursday to ring up & find out why this has happened.

My first thoughts are does your ESA include the SDP? If so then a decision may have been made on your PIP and if you haven’t been awarded daily living PIP then the SDP will stop. Although the SDP is £76.40/week, it will depend on when the decision was made.
Either way, you will need to ring them when they open, which will be Thursday now.1 -
Hi poppy I will have to have a look at my letters telling me exactly what I get I will do it over the next few days, the person that rang me up to do my review for my pip was not sympathetic in ant way it really upset me and made my anxiety and mental heath worse . she said it could be 8 weeks before I here anything . how do I tag you poppy ? I'm not very good on computers0

How much ESA do you normal receive every fortnight? To tag someone you put an @before their name but i would prefer people not to tag me.

Were you able to contact ESA to ask why your ESA was less than usual?

Hi yes we managed to get in touch, and it was regarding a very small monthly pension which I had forgot about and I thought my partner had informed them about it for me0

Glad you managed to ring them. Yes, a weekly/monthly pension income will reduce any Income Related ESA you're claiming £1 for £1.
