Hi guys,
Can anyone give me advice please.. I currently claim lwrca working 8 hrs a week, I've had to finish work completely due to my health, can I claim esa as well as lwrca and uc??
Thank you in advance.
Eligibility for New Style ESA depends on recent sufficient NI Contributions.
If awarded it would be deducted from your UC payment in full.

According to my uc I can have £404 a month before any deductions, this is my confusion
You are talking about the work allowance. That is the amount of money you can earn before deductions are made.
Usually UC would deduct £0.55 for every £1 earned.
With the work allowance, those deductions wouldn't happen until you've earned £404.
ESA is not earnings and subject to a full deduction from UC.
Ah I see!! Thank you so much for your advice I was so confused.
The value must be greater than or equal to 1.
