I have recently migrated, and they informed me that my payment will be £214.36, due on 7th Aug.

Will the payment remain at this if all circumstances stay the same for me?

    Yes you will get this amount every month if your circumstances stay the same.

    The rates go up in April, but you might not see the increase right away. It has to be a whole Assessment Period after the increase to apply.

    For example my AP is 26th-25th, payment 2nd, I do not see the increase until May 26 - June 25 AP paid 2nd July. I still get 12 payments at the higher rate, I just have to wait longer for it to start.

    Thanks for your reply.

    This payment of UC is more than when I was being paid ESA IR, is that correct?

    Yes that's correct if you migrated to with an ESA award without SDP, as UC Standard Allowance + LCWRA pays £823.41.

    This is higher than the monthly equivalent of legacy ESA Support Group without SDP.

    I note from your other post you also get New Style ESA, your payments still add up to £823.41.
