Okay so I have an entitlement to Contributions Based ESA but receive the benefit amount within a Income Based ESA claim.

When my claim is migrated to Universal Credit with I receive New Style ESA and Universal Credit?

If that is correct is there anything I need to do to make sure the migration gives me that outcome?

The issue has taken me back to 2011 when ESA was new and shiny, people were put on Income Based ESA and their Contributions Based ESA Entitlement sometimes got lost along the way. It meant if a husband's or wife's earnings went high enough to lose the Income Based Esa the one too sick to work would be left without the income they were entitled to.

In the very unlikely event I end up living with someone else I need to know I won't be relying on them for everything :-(

Hi Tangles
