Hi all, I have recently moved from ESA to universal credit after receiving a migration letter, Everything went smooth and I have received payments in June, July and August which where for the correct amount and included my LCWRA element in each monthly payment, But it looks like I have slipped through the new style ESA net, as when I was claiming ESA I was in receipt of contribution based ESA and going by other posts I have read I should have been switched over to new style ESA and received a phone call from a work coach to agree to a claimant commitment when I migrated over to universal credit, I was definitely in receipt of contribution based ESA as they sent me a letter a few weeks after submitting my universal credit application letting me know how much contribution based ESA they had paid me since April, So I am posting to see if any kind member can offer any advice on what next steps I should take over this or should I simply do nothing as I hate dealing with the dwp as I have mental health and speech issues and I think I am financially better off per month on universal credit.

I was transferred over from incapacity benefit to contribution based ESA in 2010

Any advice or help would be really appreciated

Thanks

Karen
