    Yes I believe that your Transitional Protection will reduce by the additional entitlement for your third child.

    The child element rate is around £300 so you should have some Transitional Protection left.

    It will also reduce by the annual uprating for the other elements.

    Will chance to erode completely then, thanks for taking the time to reply 👍
