I know that some of our members will be very interested to know the following…..
The High Court decision in the 4th case of TP & AR has at last been implemented and written into legislation.
The result is that anyone who 'naturally' migrated (due to move of house, etc) to UC from a legacy benefit (eg ESA) and who has, or previously had (before erosion), a SDP Transitional Element included in their UC will now get an increase, an additional amount for the failure to fully compensate for the loss of EDP as well.
It also applies to those that were claiming child tax credits that included the disabled child element. When they claimed UC and were only entitled to the lower disabled child amount, which meant they did actually lose out on money in the process.
