    Hi and welcome to the community its great to have you on board.

    I am not too sure about ESA however I know people on Universal credit have had their base money increased or 12 months due ti the pandemic so this could be similar but that is only a guess.

    It may be worth you calling to find out

    @hicky50 it is best to try and ring the DWP on this one. The UC part stands for universal credit. Sometimes payments don't go through automatically and they will do then manually and the code on your statement comes up strange. I've done some digging and unfortunately can't find an answer for this code.
