I'm aware that because of transitional protection I'll be at least on the same amount after uc migration as I'm currently on with ir esa. But I read a post on here which seems to suggest I could actually get more money on uc after migration than I'm currently on. I was wondering if anyone could confirm.
I'm on income related esa. In the support group.
I get:
£138.20 a week
Plus
£20.85 EDP
= £159.05 a week
Or
£318.10 every 2 weeks
(£636.2 every 4 weeks)

As UC is a monthly benefit, I'll convert your ESA to a monthly figure (multiply by 52 then divide by 12).
ESA: £689.21
UC LCWRA +Standard Allowance: £809.64.
So yes you will be better off under UC.
