    It's probably because your ESA hasn't been stopped correctly following your UC application.

    Instances of this happening are increasingly common as the number of migration letters goes up.

    If you have been paid too much IR ESA by mistake then this will be deducted from future Universal Credit awards.

    It will be deducted directly from your UC awards in future.

    Apologies, I should have said UC are capped at the rate they can take debt repayment deductions so it shouldn't be taken all at once.
