    Yes everybody will eventually have to move to UC. The premiums do not exist in UC. However some people are better off, those that are worse off are typically those who get an SDP. 
    For those who are managed across there will be transitional protection so that the starting UC amount is not less than the previous benefits. However the transitional protection will erode over time.
