    Hi hayley0285,

    You could possibly be on contribution based ESA topped up by income-related ESA.
    As Jayne says above, if you satisfied the national insurance contribution condition, the £125.55 you receive will be made up of £109.65 contribution based ESA and £15.90 income-related ESA. I know it's confusing, but hopefully I've helped to explain it.
