    ESA is paid two weeks in arrears, so you will be owed 16/17 days of ESA when you close the claim.

    6/7 rather than 16/17?
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    Yes I believe you are right, either way the 19th won't be OP's final payment.
