UC Migration affecting other beneifts

I have a poor memory and difficulty digesting information on this web site.

So I can be clear I need to ask the following information:

I currently get PIP, ESA Conts and tax credits.

If I migrate over to UC am I right in saying that only my tax credits will stop and I can continue to receive ESA Cont and PIP?

Thanks

Hi synapse321

You are correct, your CB ESA will be taken into account £ for £ when they work out your UC, you may be eligible to also claim LCWRA in which case you could be better off, see; help-for-claimants/esa1
Your PIP award will not affect your UC claim.

Hi
I Have Transitional Protection from moving from IB To ESA(Contributory) ie I Keep my War Pension and CB ESA in full,no £85 rule.
IF I Chose to move to Uc ESA this rule would come into effect and my War Pension would be eroded away.
However if I have no change of circumstances and i am force migrated would I still retain my Transitional Protection as it was in the initiall Transition from IB To ESA?(I have had no break in IB/ESA since 1996.)

Kind Regards.
