ESA letters are very difficult to understand, even for experienced advisors.

This is their way of saying your New Style ESA rate will be £140.55 per week from April.

November refers to the payment of a £10 Christmas bonus in December.

You will get £140.55 a week right through to April next year, when the rate will go up again.

Im in the support group an have been for some time an I was worried is it anything to be worried about

No it's nothing to worry about.

Once a year the benefit rates go up, and you are sent a letter confirming the amount that you will get.

I had the exact same one a few weeks ago as my claim is also made up of UC & NS ESA.
