ESA & UC Backpay? was created by Jade
Hello,

If my mum had her ESA stopped and therefore had to claim UC and has been awarded the higher allowance will her backpay for ESA also be issued aswell as UC?

Thank you, Jade

She will receive the difference between what she would have received with the award under UC and what she has actually been paid.

Hello,

What about the higher payment she should have received while on ESA also?

If there was a gap between your ESA being stopped and your making a UC claim then you will receive back payment of the ESA.
