    LCWRA is part of UC. As part of your ESA was contributions based this has now reverted to New style. This will be paid fortnightly at a rate of £276.40.

    The ESA will be deducted in full from any UC entitlement at a rate of £598.86/month. It may seem like the deduction is more but UC is a monthly benefit and ESA is weekly and there’s 4.3 weeks in a month.

    Yes you will need to agree to commitments for ESA and UC. Both will just be to agree to report all changes.
