UC transitional protection. was created by lollo1
I am an apointee and my son and daughter and have not had the migration noticed yet. So will someone who is migrating from ESA Support group to UC now be classed as a new claimant with todays announcment of cutting the UC helth element by 50%. Or will they still have transitional protection.

Both are getting higher rate of care and mobilty, son has a total score of 27 on pip for care. 12 for mobilty and 4 points on care for 4 different descriptors with an ongoing award that was from 2017. Daughter has 22 points for care, 12 for mobilty with 4 points on 3 of the different desciptors, she also has an ongoing award from 2021. I am in no doubt aware that this will probably change on a light tough review even though there conditions are lifelong and won't change and neither has their care needs or care.

Hi lollo1

No you won't experience the LCWRA cut not under the proposals announced today and the current government timetable for Managed Migration which is to be completed by Xmas.

I think it's too early to plan for the PIP 4 point rule as the finer details need to be worked out. Keep an eye on the News section of the BenefitsandWork site.
