Migrated from ESA to UC + New Style ESA - how long before NS-ESA payments start?

Terahurts

My partner (who was claiming the old style ESA) and I have just migrated to UC. My partner has be moved to New Style ESA (letter dated 3rd July) and had her claimant commitment interview last Friday. Her last, old style, ESA payment was the 1st July and our first UC payment will be the 17th, but we have no idea when she'll be getting her first NS-ESA payment as our first UC payment has her ESA deducted and, while we've got some savings, I'm worried things are going to get a bit tight financially and also can't plan bill payments etc.

I'm wondering if anyone can give me a rough idea of how long the old style to new style ESA migration takes?

New style esa payments should continue without any interruption or changes to her usual ESA payment cycle.

Thanks Kimi, the payment for her old style ESA should have been due tomorrow, so if her NS payments carry on as normal we'll in a better situation than we were expecting.
