Hi @Kabukimummy

Unfortunately, it tends not to be as favourable as Tax Credits, as the premiums, particularly if lower-rate, are at a lower rate. However due to the nature of UC it depends on the other circumstances in the claim.

Please see this leaflet, which gives various scenarios as to outcomes when switching to UC with a disabled child...

Hope this helps.

Kind regards
