in Universal Credit (UC)

I have been assessed as having LCWRA and l understand l will get extra money.

As l had been migrated over and was receiving transitional protection will this now stop.

    The extra money is paid from the 4th month after you provided your first fit note, with the first payment being the end of that month. It's not paid at all during that period.

    Yes, your Transitional Protection (TP) will erode once the LCWRA element is included. If the TP is more than £416.19/month you will not be any better off once the element is included.

    If your UC also include the carers element for yourself then this will also be removed because the same person can't receive both elements at the same time. In this case you would be worse off.
