Hello, I was awarded standard care on Pip from June 2024. After a mandatory reconsideration, DWP called me today to say they’re changing my rate to enhanced to run from June 2024, so eligible for a back payment.
During last year up until the 31/12 I was in receipt of income support. I migrated over to UC in January 25.
I was receiving disability element and severe disability element and thus my transitional protection to UC reflected this.
I’m wondering now if I would have been eligible for the enhanced disability element from June 24 - dec 24 and whether one: I would need to contact income support and two: if my transitional protection would go up. I know premiums are not carried over to UC per se but if I was eligible for enhanced care pip before I transitioned to Uc, surely that would need to be taken into account in regard to transitional protection thus also creating back payment from both income support and universal credit (to include the extra TP element?)
It’s all so very confusing - I hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance
🙏
