MIG decrease with migration from ESA to UC - Is this lawful?

Camellia

Hi

I have a package of support from my local council and had my affordability calculation redone when I migrated across from ESA to UC. I previously had a Minimum Income Guarantee MIG of £180ish per week (because of disability premiums), but it has now been slashed to £112 per week (presumably because there are no disability premiums on UC).

Everything I have above £112 is gobbled up for care. I was previously everything above £180ish.

Is the council acting lawfully? It doesn’t seem fair that I am expected to pay considerably more towards my package of support just because I transferred across from ESA to UC.

If anyone has had a similar thing happen or knows which laws apply that would be extremely helpful

Thanks in advance
