UC Transitional Protection Payment

Hi Spennywen

How much was your Transitional Protection per month?
Changes that will ‘erode’ a claimant’s Transitional Element if they occur after the end of the first Monthly Assessment Period include:
• increasing from the under-25 to 25 or over Standard Allowance
• the addition of a Child Element
• the addition of a Disabled Child Element, or increase from Low to High DCE
• the addition of an LCWRA Element, or increase from a LCW to LCWRA Element^
• the addition of a Carer Element
• the addition of, or increase to, the Housing Costs Element (including due to the Bedroom Tax deduction decreasing or a Housing Costs Contribution being removed)
• the annual uprating of benefits.
Note: changing from an LCW to an LCWRA Element is seen as an increase, not a new Element, so the Transitional Element is ‘eroded’ by the difference between the two.
