    Yes whatever you receive from Carers Allowance should be deduced from UC.

    Agree with Spoonie, looks like you entered on benefit calculator that you had LCWRA, when you had LCW

    I must have got confused. I was on ESA WRAG so assumed that was LCWRA? Is LCWRA ESA Support group then?

    ESA Support Group is LCWRA (limited capability for work and work related activity). ESA WRAG is UC LCW (limited capability for work).
    Is your transitional protection amount correct?

    Yeah, £143.73 is the transitional protection amount I get.

    Apologies, I meant has your TP been calculated correctly, from when you migrated from income related ESA to UC.
