    HI and welcome,

    It will totally depend on what date you reached state pension age and when your last payment for ESA was. ESA is not paid from the date you reached state pension age.

    Hi @martin45 - Welcome to the community. The reason your ESA has stopped is because you are now of state pension age, & have just received your first state pension. ESA is for those of a job working age, & payable until you receive your state pension, sorry.
