I have no idea, is it the jobcentre or the dwp I have to ask?
I went from 82 a week to 52 a week when I changed from ib to esa.

You should have received an Entitlement Letter every year, usually in February for your ESA which details what you are receiving and breaks you payments down.
You should not have seen a reduction in your payments when you were moved from IB, if your ESA was less, then you should have received a Transitional Payment to cover the difference.
It is the DWP that you need to contact.

I'm not aware of receiving a letter, I've already asked the dwp on two occasions and they cannot tell me which esa I get.
I'll have to give up on finding out and keep paying for my prescriptions etc and just assume they have worked things out correctly.

The Premiums are only payable with ESA(IR) not ESA(CB) so are you entitled to an ESA(IR) top-up to your ESA(CB)? The criteria is on page 1 of this topic.

If you are on a low income you can apply for an HC2 cert to cover the cost of NHS services
