This is what I meant by transitional protection:

11. Transitional protection
You will not lose out immediately when you are moved onto universal credit if your circumstances remain the same. You will get ‘transitional protection’ if your universal credit is less than what you would get under the old system. This will be an extra amount to make up the difference between the old and the new. You will continue to get this until you are entitled to receive more under universal credit than under the old benefits (which could mean your universal credit is effectively frozen for several years).

That is an interesting point.
I am not able to think about this at the moment.
