No you will not be required to have a new medical assessment as a direct result of migration to UC.

Thanks Kimi. I was surprised when i checked my account this morning my full ESA payment was paid in thought I would only get pat payment .

It depends on where you were in your ESA payment cycle when you applied for UC.

If you have accidentally been paid too much IR ESA, this will be deducted from future UC payment. You would see wording on your statement like "benefits you were not entitled to".
