I already advised in a previous comment what your UC will include once you migrate across. UC is one benefit made up of many different elements. LCWRA element is part of UC and this year this amount is £416.19/month. Standard allowance for single person 25+ is £393.45, then housing element, if you claim for help with the rent. Transitional protection will then be included if your UC entitlement is less than what you were receiving on ESA.

While I appreciate that we are helping someone with their Universal Credit this topic is meant to be regarding the current election and politics. If we could keep comments in that general topic area it would be appreciated.
I understand you are confused @Catherine21, the benefits system can be very confusing, but you do have a discussion in the Universal Credit category.
Have you tried contacting your local Citizen's Advice to see if they can get you in touch with a benefits adviser to help you?

I do agree with you entirely but when you have members giving misleading and incorrect information, it needs to be corrected. Catherine has asked questions about managed migration over several threads to which I have answered.

That information was from a benefit group I didn't know it was wrong I thought I was helping no malice intended

I don't think there's any thought of malice!
Anyhow, last few days now and the election will soon be done and dusted.

Could be from dwp I still haven't got a clue

DWP do not have a benefits group. Anyway, Jimm has already asked for us to remain on topic with this thread so I won't be commenting further on benefits in this thread.

No need for harshness I'm no good online and understanding some things if I was I wouldn't be asking !

I wasn't being harsh at all and I'm sorry you thought that. I've done nothing but advise you on here across several threads so I don't understand why you're now accusing me of being harsh.
The reason I said I wouldn't comment further about benefits is because @Jimm_Scope did ask for us to keep the thread on topic and talking about benefits isn't remaining on topic.
It's unbelievable how some members think I'm harsh when I've gone out of my way to TRY to help them. I give up!

poppy123456 you are a great help for members on here, me included and for that I can’t thank you enough
I think everyone’s emotions are out of control at the mo as we have no idea what is going to happen in the following weeks / months
I am struggling to cope with all this as it’s all up in the air and tbh my coping strategy is to ignore it best I can
I don’t think catherine21 meant anything towards you she is just as stressed as the rest of us (correct me if I am wrong catherine21)
Still only a few days to go then well hopefully have a new government all I hope is that help us disabled people not give us a hard time

I’ve voted green on their manifesto against disability shame they won’t get in but I can’t vote labour as I have a labour mp in my constituency and when I email her for help previously in the past she didn’t want to see me instead said she was raising the matter in parliament!

How would they go about that did they say they'd do that will they have an mp for disabled hope that makes sense
