HI and welcome,It will totally depend on what date you reached state pension age and when your last payment for ESA was. ESA is not paid from the date you reached state pension age.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

Hi @martin45 - Welcome to the community. The reason your ESA has stopped is because you are now of state pension age, & have just received your first state pension. ESA is for those of a job working age, & payable until you receive your state pension, sorry.
