    Yes ESA continues for two weeks after you apply for UC (known as the run on payment).

    This isn't always for the full amount or exactly two weeks after your previous ESA payment, depending on where in the ESA cycle you were when you applied for UC.

    I got my esa on 15th april I applied for universal credit on 11th april. I would be due an esa payment on 29th April but didn't know if I will still get it.

    Thanks for your reply have a good rest of the weekend

    You will probably get about 10 days worth on the 25th, as they already paid you from 11th-15th in the first ESA payment
