    They will only be entitled to Transitional Protection if their ESA would include the Severe disability Premium, if they claimed the Income Related top up. If it wouldn't include this then there will be no TP because you only receive this when claiming through managed migration.

    As they are already in the Support Group their UC will include the LCWRA element, regardless of whether their ESA is CB or Income Related.

    When they claim UC their CB ESA will continue as normal but be deducted in full from any UC entitlement.

    With Alternative payment, how do I ask about it once i get a letter. I'm Autistic. Also I'm worried about the rent. My Housing Benefit is paid straight to my housing association, can they still do that.

    Catherine 21 did Stephens Timms reply.?

    Honestly all this worry is making me feel ill , sometimes I wish I wasn't here, but I have my cats to look after. This Labour government is making me feel depressed. That letter that I wrote and kier starmer wrote about being kind to disabled people is lies I fear. Look what he's doing to the pensioners. If he wanted to surely they can halt the migration to UC from esa , back to what it was originally.

    You can ask for an APA through the journal when you start the claim.

    Yes, the housing element of UC can still be paid directly to your housing association.

    Why couldn't they leave esa until 2028, like they were going too, if Labour said they were going to simplify uc . Leave it until its done. Seems so complicated. How come they can't transfer your details over especially if you were claiming HB. Why do we have to make a new claim which is stressful and a worry
