in the muddle of migrating from IR esa to uc, now letter about CB esa??? was created by Mama
Hi can anyone advise me please?
I was receiving income related esa, am in the middle of migrating to UC.
just had a letter telling me my contribution based esa will be changing to new style esa from 15/4/25 and they'll be in touch for an appointment with work coach etc.
I am so confused.
I used to get contribution based esa, but when my ex partner left about 5 years ago it seemed to trigger something and i then began getting income related esa. Noone has mentioned contribution esa for years, i am so confused. which isnt good as i am already drowning in stress about the UC change.
i dont know what to do
any advise would be amazing

Hi Mama
Your experience is familiar to a majority of our ESA Forum members. You will get New Style ESA and a top up of UC. In the past your top up was Income Based ESA.
