UC top up on nsesa

How much uc top up will I get on top of nsesa . I will get uc fortnightly and in the support group. Will I get transferred protection as well. The housing will be paid to the housing association directly

£214 is what I get (and something pence) I see from others their amount is the same so I think that's a blanket amount Ns 281.10 x 2 and £214 UC

You won't need the TP as you should be about £135 better off like myself a month.

As you migrated from ESA with SDP, your UC award (with ESA deduction & Transitional Protection) should be around £430 per month.

So your total monthly income should be made up of £609.05 NS ESA & £430 Universal Credit.

£219 of UC that will be Transitional Protection, this erodes over time as other elements go up or new elements are added to your award.

I'm on new style esa with uc top up

I know that, your previous ESA award included Severe Disability Premium did it not?

Therefore you will receive Transitional Protection due to being worse off on UC.

Esa new style. My first payment on Monday was for £295.98

The statement also said my esa is £609 a month .is this right

Limited capacity for work and work related activity £423.27

TP £236.74

Esa £609.05

Rent monthly £546.48

Deducted £1.155.53

This month payment £451.10

Assessment Period 29 October to 28 November

UC is confusing at first, a couple months in and it won't be so strange, posters usually need lots of support after claiming UC then after a few months they dissappear as they don't need help any longer 😊

Yes as previously advised £609.05 is the correct deduction.

NS ESA is a weekly benefit and UC is calculated monthly, so that amount is the monthly average (there are 4.3 weeks in a month). If doesn't matter if you've had 2 or 3 ESA payments in a particular month.

Everything looks correct with your statement, nothing missing and gives you an overall monthly income (excluding rent) of £1060.15 which should be bang on to match your previous legacy benefits.

Thank you , it's confusing at first. I have to take a screenshot to send to council tax people.
