    Hey there @annabattu and a warm welcome to the community.

    Yes, you should still receive your scheduled ESA payment on August 29th, and you should also receive a further two weeks of ESA after that as a "run-on" payment, which you do not have to repay. Your UC payment will begin around five weeks after your ESA application date, after you've had a full UC assessment period and the two-week run-on has ended.

    Your ESA ended when you applied for UC.

    You will receive one final payment known as the run on payment. This is not always a full two weeks worth, and doesn't always arrive on your expected due date.

    From the information given you are owed 10 days IR ESA, which should arrive around the 29th.
