UC migration from esa

£276.40/fortnight ESA but the deduction from UC will be £598.86/month. The deduction looks more than you receive but it's correct because there's 4.3 weeks in a month, not 4 weeks.

UC will then top up your income and be paid once a month. How much you'll be entitled to will depend on circumstances and what elements you'll be entitled to.

hi poppy how do we know if our claim is all income related esa, I've looked at my benefits uprating letter and it says income related, but I've seen so many people online shocked at receiving a letter when their migrating to uc saying they are actually on contribution esa too as a top up, when they thought they was just on income related, Do uc have to wait for esa to send them your details after you have confirmed your identity for uc to check if your fully income related or a mixture of both esa income related and contribution esa. or new style esa as it's now known? or will uc automatically know which esa your on before esa send your details?

Many thanks for the great help you give out on here :)

The only way to know for sure is to ring ESA and ask.

The letters they send are complex and difficult to understand, even for experienced advisors.

When you claim UC, ESA will send details of your award to them. This can take a few weeks.

Take it easy, Catherine, it really nothing to worry about. Any questions you have will be answered in this community.

You now know alot more than I did when I applied for UC. As i've said many times, I knew nothing about all this until i joined here, about 5 weeks ago.

For example, I only learned from a member 2 days ago, that the Disabled Income Guarantee was in fact the enhanced premium. This after 15 years claiming ESA!

My claim for UC went smoothly, and I bet your one will too.
