Hey there @annabattu and a warm welcome to the community.

Yes, you should still receive your scheduled ESA payment on August 29th, and you should also receive a further two weeks of ESA after that as a "run-on" payment, which you do not have to repay. Your UC payment will begin around five weeks after your ESA application date, after you've had a full UC assessment period and the two-week run-on has ended.

Thank you I'm so worried about this change

Your ESA ended when you applied for UC.

You will receive one final payment known as the run on payment. This is not always a full two weeks worth, and doesn't always arrive on your expected due date.

From the information given you are owed 10 days IR ESA, which should arrive around the 29th.
