Were ESA support group (old) paid in arrears?

Hi All

Could someone please confirm for me if the payments we received on old style ESA, were paid in arrears ?

The reason I'm asking is because I've just received my 1st statement after migrating to UC.

I made my claim on 27th of May. (June 3rd was my cut off date for claiming). after which I received 2 final payments of my old style ESA last being 17th June, which my advisor said I would receive.

Now on my statement with Rent, LCWRA and Protection it comes to £1472.55 which is a slight improvement on my old style, but then it goes on to say Deductions,

As you received benefits you weren't entitled to, ESA -£118.98 ?
As this is an average of other benefits that your continuing to claim ESA -£609.05 ?

Payment to landlord which I asked for -£412.39 so was expecting this.

Total payment this month £332.13

If our payments are paid in arrears why are we all losing money as my loss is £646.13 for july ?

Surely if we are paid in arrears for both then we shouldn't be losing money or am I missing something ?
