    Hi,

    If you're claiming Contributions based ESA or New style ESA and UC then your ESA will be deducted £1 for £1 from your UC payments and this should already be happening now.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
