Why do you believe you have been overpaid?

How much were you receiving in IB as you should get the same in ESA. As you are in the support group and contributon based it will continue until you are no longer in that group.

as i was in wrag first then transfer to support group i think i was getting same amount. i just thought u would get less when transfered from ib to esa

You get transitional protection - you receive the same amount you did on IB.

thanks for letting me know. when u r transfer from wrag to support should i have a letter informing me that am in support group i have received no letter only a letter on the day of tribunal my payments will be stopped in july but tribunal as said disregard the date i first claimed and i was not to be reviewed for a year does that still mean my payment be stopped in july am just very confused

You should have received a letter but sometimes these things get lost in the system, nothing to worry about as long as your payments continue.

Your payments will not stop until your claim is reassessed. You should receive a new form to complete in the near future.
