The whole interface between UC and PC is unfair and irrational imo Will.

Completely agree.

Me too. If pro rata UC payments can be made for those eligible for PC (*) and knowledgable enough to claim in advance then they can clearly be made for all claimants.

When outcomes for different claimants depend on their knowledge of the rules something is badly wrong.

(* Still not clear if it is sufficient to have made a claim for PC to get the pro rata UC payment even if it turns out that there is no PC entitlement.)
