No Transitional protection

Comments

  • Update... Thank you all for your help. Lady from UC didn't phone but did leave a message on my journal saying transitional protection of £120 been sent to payments team for approval and if approved will be paid by 8pm Monday 29th Nov 

    I assume this approval is a formality and that payment at £120 a month will now continue and not be a one off.

    It should continue but the amount is not fixed. If any of you other elements increase the amount of SDPTE will reduce. So assuming the other elements have an increase in April 2022 you will see a reduction in SDPTE at that time. Similarly if your rent goes up and the housing element increases then the SDPTE will go down.

    Your maximum UC entitlement is now effectively frozen until such time as the SDPTE has disappeared.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.
