Hello,
I am in the Support Group for IR ESA.  I get the Enhanced disability premium. I think I might get some CB ESA with a top up.  Is the Enhanced premium a top up? I just wondered if I get both CB and IR ESA will I be eligible for the £326 payment or is it just people on IR only. I say I get both as I get £10 Christmas Bonus too.

Thanks for any replys

    Hello again,

    I just forgot to ask, If part of my ESA is CB and part IR, will I be moved to UC sometime in the future?

    Sorry for so many questions

    Yes you will. The income based ESA will end. The contribution based part will continue and be paid separately from UC. The c-ESA will be deducted from the UC when calculating the amount payable.

    Also will I get the £326 if I get CB and IR ESA or is it just people who get IR only?

    You will get the £326 because you get I-ESA. It doesn't matter what else you get.
