Hello
I find the SDP issue when moving onto UC very confusing.
I am on ESA SG with the SDP element and the disability income guarantee. It is possible that I may have to move to a different area so this would be a change of circumstances and would trigger a move to Universal Credit I assume.
I am really not clear if I would loose the SDP and get the 'transitional financial protection' and if so for how long.
Would it be better to voluntarily apply for UC before a move and would that be better financially?
If I don't move is it best to wait and be migrated naturally or is it best to voluntarily apply?
I've had no luck trying to speak to specialist advisers so far.
The wording on the government website is puzzling to me. I would welcome some advice or pointers. Thank you.

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

Hi pj7
Welcome to the forum.
You might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is; www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/guides-for-claimants/faq/forum
We cannot answer your question as it would depend on numerous factors, you need to get in contact with your local Welfare Rights Organisation who can take all your circumstances into consideration; advicelocal.uk
I did find this information on Google: www.entitledto.co.uk/help/Transitional-p...ion-Universal-Credit that may help you.
