    You'll need to ring the Universal Credit helpline  0800 328 5644 (they deal with new style ESA too).
    You should have received a Work Capability questionnaire to complete and return and have been receiving fortnightly payments at the assessment rate (if you meet the NI conditions).

    That's good - it confirms you have a claim. Ring the helpline to a ask why you haven't received the ESA50 (health form).

    That's not unusual. Sometimes it's better if you phone early in the day.
