Transitional protection on migration
We are in gateway area for UC. Our client is on IS as carer with HB/CTS. He has been offered adapted housing in full service area. We estimate he will be £100 pw worse off on UC. We have established (I think) the move will force migration to UC but cannot find out if he will get TP.
UC helpline worse than useless and can’t find information from any of our usual sources. Any help gratefully received. Thanks
There is no TP yet because managed migration hasn’t started: this is a natural migration and UC is what it is. But ... £100 a week worse off, are you sure? Carers will tend to break even on UC, unless the disabled person is the claimant’s child and not getting full whack DLA care. Even then the loss is in the £30s, which is bad enough but not as bad as you feared. Can you provide more detail about how the £100 weekly shortfall comes about? Or is this a couple on 2x SDP?
You are right HB anorak, it is not £100 per week (only £6). Misinformation from general office! Still at least have established principle
