Hi all
So I just got my first my ESA payment. It was for £114.88
Does this make sense to anyone? How often is it paid? I was under the impression I get work related amount until they're able to do the f2f assessment and hopefully put me in the support group.
Thanks

Hello @Alpine88. It's possibly to do with the rate increasing slightly on 6th April.
ESA is paid every 2 weeks and your thinking is correct, you should receive the assessment rate (£58.90 a week if you're under 25 and £74.35 if you're over 25) until you are assessed and hopefully put into the support group0
