ESA to Universal Credit - Less Money?

Hello, I think my area will be transferring over to universal credit soon and I’m unsure of how this will affect the amount of money I receive?

I’m currently on ESA ( support group ) I get the disability premiums which includes the enhanced premium.

My question is, will the money stay the same on universal credit if my circumstances are the same or is there no disability premiums on universal credit? Which means I would lose money?

Thanks

Nobody is having their ESA moved to UC at the moment and won't for at least a year and probably longer. When claimants are moved to UC, rather than having to claim it for other reasons, will receive Transitional Protection and should not receive less under UC than they are currently receiving.
