Does anyone knows how UC calculate Transitional Protection?
We moved from Tax Credits to Universal Credit on June 2024. Our Transitional protection amount has already changed 3 times (at start of claim was around £600, then on November it changed to £580 and now from January it changed to £450).
I know that UC receives information from the Tax Credits office, but no one from UC can explain why my Transitional Protection amount is fluctuate.
Does anyone know which Tax Credit period and income is taken into account after migration to UC for Transitional protection calculations?
My recent Tax Credit award was for 06/04/2024 to 07/07/2024. Do they use the information from this period income?
