Hi David,

I believe I have, that would be from the 19 December (deadline) to 2 January, right?

But like a dummy I believed that I could apply as late as possible but before the final deadline, 18 January, and continue to receive ESA payments until the final deadline, for example if I'd submit my UC claim on 17 January (which is what I did), that I would continue to receive the ESA payments until 16 January, and the UC ones would then start on 17 January.

From what I understand, the 2 weeks run on starts from the deadline, that is not the final deadline, am I right?
Or does the 2 weeks run on starts from when I submitted the UC claim, even if past the deadline but before the final one? Thank you.

Hi Invisible

Different people have different ESA payment timings. You will have to examine your bank statements and see when you were paid upto and if after that you have been given the 2 week run on. If not you will have to phone ESA and ask why there is a delay.
Your UC Assessment Period will run from the 18 Jan to the 17 Feb and your UC statement will be posted to your account on the 21 Feb and your first payment going to your account on the 24 Feb.
Have you looked on your UC account to see if you are eligible for a UC Advance?
