Hi, Ive recently had the ESA Income related back payment from originally being on ESA Contribution Based.
Ive received letter showing my new rates but it isn't clear if i am still on CB or just on IR. Is it possible to be on both?
It does say that they will credit me with NI contributions while claiming ESA. Its very confusing!
Any help or advice welcome. Thanks.

You remain entitled to ESA(CB) but now with an ESA(IR) top-up.

Thank you Gordon.
They have worded it as i have a ‘total income-related amount’ as the payment that goes in my a/c so i suppose they have just totalled it all together.

Could you just tell me if this entitles me to free prescriptions now then?

Yes, free prescriptions, dental care and help with glasses.
