So apparently universal credit is replacing alot of benefits like ESA and that's why we have all been paid from a different department. It's on the gov website about benefits. I have a picture of it.

That's not relevant. Yes UC is, over time, replacing those benefits but at the moment those benefits still exist alongside UC and are managed from different parts of DWP.

Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.
