Do you lose transitional protection on UC if you are later found fit for work

With the recent announced benefit cuts, and the likelihood I will lose my PIP when I get reassessed because of the 4 point rule, I am trying to take stock of my move to UC next month, as I will move under managed migration in two weeks. I currently get Work group ESA and Severe disability premium, the latter should be reflected in transitional protection.

But what happens if I am later reassessed by WCA and found fit for work? Will the transitional protections increase so I am still getting what I got on ESA, will they stay the same of lose them? I can’t find an answer anywhere on google, and Google AI is giving me conflicting information, sometimes it says I will lose them, sometimes it says I wont, depending on how I word the question, so can’t be trusted.

I appreciate that the law could change anyway soon with the cuts Labour are doing, particularly since WCA itself is getting scrapped in 2028. But I would just like to confirm what situation would be under current laws, as I need to prepare as best I can before the cuts come.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Thanks for reply!

Ah ok, that’s really important to know, so unless Labour change the law, I won’t lose the transitional protection/premiums if found fit for work. I assume the same will happen if I lose my PIP, the transitional protections won’t be lost. And just as you say get eroded by inflation over time. That will take the sting out of things a bit, the cliff edge won’t be as bad as could have been.
