ESA migration to Universal Credit help please

Annie2347

Hello,

I applied for Universal Credit on 6th May after receiving a migration letter.

I was in mainly contribution based ESA in support group with an income related top up.

My first Universal Credit payment statement shows I am in the LCWRA group but it has taken off £600 for ESA payments.

I have still been receiving ESA payments but thought these would stop.

I have read around the internet and saw that people on contribution based ESA are put onto new ESA instead of full migration to Universal Credit?

I would be grateful if someone could confirm this is correct please?

Thank you for your help.

Your Con ESA  is now New Style ESA and will continued to be paid. The old income related part has been migrated to UC.
The NS ESA is deducted in full from your UC entitlement.
