UC Migration - Claimant Commitment not done

Hi all, I have recently moved from ESA to universal credit after receiving a migration letter, Everything went smooth and I have received payments in June, July and August which where for the correct amount and included my LCWRA element in each monthly payment, But it looks like I have slipped through the new style ESA net, as when I was claiming ESA I was in receipt of contribution based ESA and going by other posts I have read I should have been switched over to new style ESA and received a phone call from a work coach to agree to a claimant commitment when I migrated over to universal credit, I was definitely in receipt of contribution based ESA as they sent me a letter a few weeks after submitting my universal credit application letting me know how much contribution based ESA they had paid me since April, So I am posting to see if any kind member can offer any advice on what next steps I should take over this or should I simply do nothing as I hate dealing with the dwp as I have mental health and speech issues and I think I am financially better off per month on universal credit.

I was transferred over from incapacity benefit to contribution based ESA in 2010

Any advice or help would be really appreciated

Thanks

Karen

    Hi @karen70, I'm sorry you didn't receive an answer to your question. Did you manage to sort it?

    I haven't had the phone call either. Just letters confirming the amounts.

    Migrated on the 14th Aug and receiving the correct amounts £281.10 nsesa every 2 weeks and monthly £214.36 UC (including the £609.05 esa deduction) which I received yesterday. Had the run on payment of £325.50 and the next one was correct at £281.10, but my journal has said nothing in the to do list since I submitted my claim

    @bellatango I'm not sure what the timelines are for getting the claimant commitment done, but if they haven't asked you to do anything yet then I wouldn't worry. If they need to do a phone call then hopefully they'll get in touch.
