Migrating from ESA to UC after receiving backpayment

Let's Be Careful Out There2 -
In terms of an update, I completed the online forms last night, and added a journal entry. Got a journal message back almost first thing in the morning asking me if I still have the "arrears letter". Strangely, I didn't get any kind of notification (i.e. no text message and no e-mail) that that message was sent to me via my "journal", which is very disconcerting. Why don't they notify people? The only reason that I checked was because I missed a call from a 0800 number mid afternoon, which I have discovered was the UC team after calling the UC helpline. Hopefully once I send them the letter I received, that will be the end of this overwhelmingly stressful issue.
I've also sent the ESA team 3 recent bank statements, but worry that I may have opened up a can of worms there.0
