    Are you continuing to receive New Style ESA? £281.10 a fortnight?

    I don’t know I got transferred to universal credit and was promised my money wouldn’t change but it’s been cut over half I only get £248 a fortnight instead of £450 what I got previously from changing to uc I don’t understand how any of it works I had worked all my life until becoming paralysed in 2018
