Double checking UC with increases
Auti
Posts: 605 Forumite
Hello.
I reported the increase in CB ESA (he did tell me they knew already as they communicate between them) and the increase in my small ill health pension. He said (via journal) thank you and will update for next payment of UC.
As i am on transitional protection I do not expect financial benefit from either pension or CBESA as any increase in those (and UC) will be deducted from my transitional protection amount.
What I want to check is that is my overall income, next UC payment, from UC, CBESA and pension should be the same when added altogether as it was last month (even though the UC payment will be less to account for the extra CBESA and pension increase). So I will neither benefit or lose out.
Am I correct in my thinking?
Thank you (this is so confusing)

You won't be worse off. If your TP is more than the increase then you won't be better off either.1
