    Your Tax credits will stop on 5th Dec whether you apply or not by the date in the letter. No one is guaranteed Transitional Protection, it will depend on the figures. If the figures say you'll be worse off then they will include TP. If you don't apply by the 6th Dec you will not receive any TP, even if you're worse off.

    Are you claiming any other benefits?

    There's also a guide here that i wrote, please do have a read. https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/110560/uc-managed-migration-guide#latest
