increases in ESA(CB) rates?

Hi all

For lots of us for whom the migration from IB to ESA (CB) commenced in 2011/12, our ESA Rate has remained static. I remember there being something about, “having to wait for ESA claimants to catch up”, however, I still haven’t got a clue if and when there’ll ever be any change.

Can anyone explain to me please?

Many thanks
