Esa to uc

Ive recently sent my online claim for universal credit migrating from esa. How do i know how much ill recieve can anyone help please

Your payment statement will be available in a little over 4 weeks. The date this is due will be written on your UC account.

Sometimes the statement is available 1-2 days before the due date.

In the meantime you can use a benefits calculator to estimate your award, or speak with Citizens Advice Help to Claim service.

Im so confused. Will i have to have an assessment? Ibe been on esa for a long time due to a life long medical condition

Kimi87

No you will not need a re assessment as a direct result of migration to UC.

Hi, I applied for UC the day after an ESA payment as was told and due to time it took to have biographical phone call then jobcentre to show id I got transitional payment of ESA on the Wednesday and because of the time it took I got another payment of ESA a fortnight later when I thought yer was supposed to only get one.

Kimi87

ESA is paid two weeks in arrears, this ends when you apply for UC apart from the final payment known as the run on payment.

You should receive a payment as you are due around 10 days ESA.

Sometimes a person is accidentally paid too much IR ESA after migration to UC, if this happens it will be deducted from your first UC award.
