    ESA Support Group is £125.55 Don't know where £127.15 came from

    UC will pay more than ESA, you will be reassessed on UC.

    Being in Hospital more than 12 months is supposed to reduce ESA to £73.10 a week, so either ESADWP did not realise you were in hospital or Mental hospital is not treated the same as mainstream hospital. (but I'd go with the first reason).

    If you claim UC you cannot go back onto ESA, but if you stay in Support Group you will be better off anyway.

    Sorry, you are correct. £125.55 - looking at next year's rates!
