Recent UC migration

in Employment & Support Allowance (ESA)

About two weeks ago I migrated from iresa to uc, this morning, one day early my last esa payment reached my bank, it was around £45 short. I know there are discrepancies by what I've read from others so I'm guessing this is normal? But can anyone explain why? Or should I give Esa a call.

Thank you.

    ESA is paid two weeks in arrears.

    When you claim UC, ESA stops straight away apart from one final payment known as the run on payment.

    The amount you get depends on where you were in your ESA payment cycle when you applied.

    It's normal for it not to be paid exactly 2 weeks later and for it not always to be for the full amount.

    @Kimi87 That was my understanding, thank you for confirming.

    I Applied on the day of my last esa payment the 7th of Nov as my UC claim was to be done by the 12thNov.

    Thanks again.
