I have recently had to migrate my Esa and housing benefit over to universal credit.

All of my weekly Esa is being deducted by universal credit.

Is this right ?

    If you were on contribution based ESA before you switched this would have been converted into ns ESA .which means they deduct that from your universal credit payment.

    Yes New Style ESA is deducted in full from your UC award.
