Like a lot of people migrating from ESA to University Credit, my brother has been his with a £260 bill for council tax increase, Southend council are taking Transitional protection as an income, and adding this to the council tax relief.
I was told they should not do this? A consultation on the phone and they are saying they are right.?
On a side note Transitional protection should really cover the council tax increase, as you worse off.
Unfortunately it is correct, the same goes for claimants awarded the LCWRA element, like they say, what you get in one hand is taken away from the other.
