I have just changed over from esa to universal credit , I got the rollover 2 weeks from esa and was told I would be able to keep that , I got my first payment fron universal credit last week - £280 that is a deduction because I got that esa payment. I was told I would get that and it was to help with transition ,nobody ever suggested that more than half would be deducted of your first payment ? Is this normal ,I’ve just called them again and got to speak to a manager and he told me that it goes into a computer and it tells them what your first payment should be ?
