I am sorry, your post is not very clear. What benefit are you on, and for how long have you been recieving it?

The DWP are currently sending all benefit claimants letters notifying them of what their payments will be after 6 April, when there will be an increase in most benefit rates, it sounds like this letter is telling you what your ESA payments will be.

There are two "types" of ESA, Income Related which is dependant on a claimants income and assets and is usually awarded to those with little of either, the other is Contribution Based ESA, where eligibility is determined by a claimants NI Contrinution history. It is also possible to receive ESA(CB) with and ESA(IR) top-up.

I hope this explains it.
