    Hi,

    The deductions for ESA and Carers Allowance are correct. Those figures are the same for everyone receiving those benefits with UC.

    DWP Benefits Recovery will be for an overpayment made in the past. Do you know how much there is left to pay on that? Then you can work out how many more months that deduction will be applied.

    It would be easier to see if there's an issue if you compared the deductions each month, rather than just the money received. Were you not receiving Carer's Allowance or ESA at the start of your claim and now are? Has the debt recovery amount increased?
