    This will not end your TP, unless there would be no entitlement to UC due to the removal of the disabled child element.

    I inferred from the information you gave in your first comment that you were already claiming UC. If he's still claiming a disability benefit when you migrate across then the disabled child element will be included.

    If his disability benefit stops once you've moved across this will not affect your TP.
