Uc and esa dual claim

livxdolly

hi I'm new to this so I do appolgise

I currently get uc with lcwra and been awarded esa ( Dual claim )

I've received my awarded letter saying I am entitled to £90.50 a week

I rang the helpline today for info on first payment was on hold for over 2 hours and gave up but on the automatic line it says I'm going to get a payment of £16.50 on Wednesday ? what will this be it's just so I can work out what will be taken out of my uc

Many thanks

Hi @livxdolly, welcome to the community, hope you're well today ☺️

ESA is usually paid every two weeks and from the amounts in the letter it looks like you're set to receive two weeks worth at the £8.25 rate. Does that sound like it makes sense for your claim?
