Hello all,
my adult son ( age 33) is moving from supported into a one bedroom flat. It is in the next town and so I think he will have to transfer to UC. He is currently on ESA support group with SDP and has high rate mobility and care PIP. He receives housing benefit at the moment.

I did look at the calculators but I am not sure which ‘transitional protection’ he may receive, if any. Could someone advise if he is going to be better or worse off please? Thank you.
Also, are there any grants he could apply for furniture or white goods as he has nothing coming from supported accommodation.
Thank you 😊

Will he be living alone or treated as living alone when he moves? If so then the SDP transitional protection for your son will be £132.12/month. This is because when he claims UC he will be entitled to the LCWRA element from the start of his claim because he's in the Support Group for ESA.Please also be aware that the SDP TP will erode over time so when other elements increase, the TP will decrease until such a time it will erode completely.When he claims UC he will need to make sure he reports his health condition. When the claim is submitted he will have access to his journal so he can put a message on that telling them that he's in the Support Group for ESA.If he's privately renting then he'll be entitled to the 1 bedroom rate of local housing allowance.0

Thank you Poppy. He will be living alone and it’s a council property. Thank you for your help. 😊0
