    Housing Benefit will be notified.

    Council Tax might be, so it's a good idea to notify them.

    Yes Housing Benefit & ESA carry on for two weeks.

    For ESA it depends on where she was in her payment cycle as to how much she will receive. It won't necessarily be a full fortnightly payment.

    Phoned about migration to UC for council tax. Seemed OK but a email I got I don't understand it said if you were claiming council tax support and wish to be considered for help with your council tax on your new universal credit since my benefit which is esa has ended please provide evidence within one month. What evidence,

    I'm on pip as well which they know about

    I'm presuming they mean your monthly payment statement, so you'd send your first statement to them, assuming it's correct at that point - it's not unusual for the first statement to be missing bits.

    If it wasn't correct you can let them know it was wrong and you'll send the corrected statement asap.
