hi I just got my migration notice I tried benefits checkers but they either don’t supply the transitional protection or it comes with an amount I know is wrong like 1000 lol

I work 12.5 hrs a week in permitted work.

I have enhanced pip for both rates and have the sdp etc in my esa claim.

the 2025 rate won’t show up on benefits checkers so I can’t get accurate information-

I’m in supporting accommodation ( so I understand my rent will still be paid by housing benefits until I move.)

how much uc will I receive and lcwa and transitioning elements? No kids no overnight carers not blind - no partner.

I get 629 going up to 677 in April a month from work as I get paid on 16th every month. So it’s bit more than 12.5 on minimum wage due to when my pay is received but from 1-31st the wage is paid just received on 16th every month..

How much deductible will be from my uc clan in for this also - with hb paying my rent

regards

Can't help with Transitional Protection, but the above will list the new rate for LCWRA & Standard Allowance.

If you apply before the rates increase your first UC payment will be at the current 24/25 rates.

I believe as you won't be getting Housing Element, you'll have a work allowance of £673 rising to £684 in April. This is the amount you can earn before any deductions are made.

The deduction rate for anything over £673/684 is £0.55p for each pound above the work allowance.

If I'm incorrect, or for when you move then the work allowance would be £401/£411 in Apil.
