You can put your circumstances into a benefits calculator, and they will estimate your UC amount.

https://www.gov.uk/benefits-calculators

Generally speaking you will be entitled to Housing Element.

UC LCWRA (the UC equivalent of ESA Support Group) +Standard Allowance pay £809.64.

Plus any Transitional Protection you might be entitled to.

Transitional Protection is designed to top up your UC award, if financially at the time of transfer your UC is less than legacy benefits. This does erode over time as other elements go up or new elements are added to your claim.

Your NS ESA will be deducted in full (£598.86) each month from the UC award.

Remember you still have the ESA payments going into your bank account.

whilst im waiting I clicked ask for a advance and it said I can have x amount does that mean that's the amount il get monthly

Hellp @lancs85. The advance offered is intended to be the full amount of your monthly payment, without any deductions (such as for overlapping benefits, savings, earnings, etc.), but it is not always accurate. Sometimes elements haven't been assessed, meaning the amount could be less than you'd expect, while at other times it may be significantly higher than your actual award.

im supposed to check back to uc today 3/3/25 to see my statement but as yet there's nothing there is it normal for this

Kimi87

What is your payment date? Statements are usually available 4-6 days before that date.

lancs85

it says we will make a decision and let you know what you will get on 3/3/25 and your payment will be on 7/3/25 as it stands at 19:59 on 4/3/25 not been told anything

Kimi87

If there is nothing tomorrow, I would add a Journal note asking why you haven't had a payment statement when your payment is due on 7th March.
