Hi, I've just completed my claim for UC, and I had my ID interview at job centre last Wednesday. I will be paid my first payment of UC on 16th March. Friday 21st Feb, I had my last ESA payment. I'm in the support group, income based, so told I will one automatically put into LWCR.

I don't have a journal online as I claimed by phone and was told I could only use phone or online. I used phone because in case of issues with my internet (my device is old, and money is tight).

Today I was checking my bank statement and I've a new payment from DWP listed as E ESA. I'm not sure what this means? I could phone them tomorrow (fri) but my support worker isn't around until Monday and I am anxious about phoning without SW there.
