If you first claimed both in May then you will be due arrears from the 14th week of the ESA claim and the fourth payment of UC.1

The combined ESA and UC total will be about £342 extra/month.0

If the health condition was reported with a UC claim at the same time then, again as previously advised, the LCWRA element should be included from the fourth UC payment.0
