Hi, I'm lilly02! Informed that I'll get some ESA after migration, will this be topped up by UC?

I have recently had to migrate to UC. I was on Income related ESA support group.

In my journal I have been informed that I now will be receiving new style esa which I thought was contribution based only?

I will be worse off by over £21.00 per week.

Will I be topped up with UC?

I was put on contribution based in error and then changed to the income related.

My journal states I'm getting new styke esa because I was once in receipt of both! Despite being on contribution based was an error in DWPs part.

I'm so confused.

This question comes up a lot, please read through this thread for information:

Up to date figures are £281.10 a fortnight in New Style ESA & £609.05 deducted from UC.
