    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.

    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.
