Hi @hass - I've just had a look; altho it was asked for, I can't find any indication that it has been agreed upon.

Thank you all xxx

I don’t know if it’s been paid but I thought it only applied to UC payments?

HI,Nothing has been agreed for the extra £20 per week and it's unlikely to be agreed. It's only paid in working tax credits and Universal Credit.
-
I don't think this applies in N. Ireland.

Only for Universal Credit until March it's £20 a week on top.

@soconfused the increase in the standard allowance is in place until April 2021 and not March.

Apologies for being so late to the thread. I hope everybody is doing as well as can be expected in these horrible times.
Does anybody know why ESA is not paying the extra £20? It doesn't seem very fair to me. -
Theres a new thread on this @CJ61
