ESA to UC migration. 2 week run on

nannytone_2

Started the migration process last friday, May 30th.
Should the 2 week run on coincide with the usual ESA pay date, or be paid 2 weeks after the UC claim date?
Last ESA payment received 23/5, so should I have expected a further payment today, or would it be next week ( 2 weeks after UC claim date)?
Same for housing benefit.  I received a letter yesterday saying housing benefit is stopped from 30/5.

With ESA it's not always exactly two weeks later nor is it always for the full amount, depending on where you were in the normal ESA payment cycle.

It was exactly mid payment.  7 days since the previous payment, and 7 days till the next payme would have been due.
Also there is no mention of a 2 week run on on the housing benefit cancellation letter.
I suppose all I'm asking is if this is normal, or do I need to chase it?

I don't think you need to chase anything yet as it's a bit soon for that, personally I'd wait another week or two and see what happens.

I did call ESA, and didn't need to speak to anyone.  The automated system told me I will receive a full ESA payment on 20th June.
So now all I need to do is contact the council to ask about the HB run on.

I just did my migration. I phoned up first and was advised to do the migration on my ESA payment date or the day after. Seems it works out better that way.

Let your landlord know also that you have claimed universal credit; if it is the council, they will be aware via the portal. But it pays to claim mid-month on your payment day.

I agree, but as I am blind, I had to do it when I had someone around to help me
