I started my UC August 2019, it was very normal and every month I am getting additional payment with UC, but suddenly three weeks ago, first they back dated form 4th April 2020 around £400 and then next payment was £301, after that they stop automatically and this week again I received £227. Overall don't understand the story? Before I call them need your advise please.

My guess is that the ESA team paid you the Carers Allowance premium on your ESA, this was not payable to you as you had a UC claim at the time, providing you have notified ESA that you are receiving UC then it may not be recoverable as it appears the payment is due to an official error, however, they may try to recover it via your UC payment where you should be receiving the Carers element as part of your UC, this is more likely if the CA claim is recent and you backdated it by the maximum three months.
