Migration and transitional protection.

Good moaning everyone. I have a situation I need help and advice with.

I have transitioned from old legacy to uc through migration a week ago.

I am or was on sdp,esa, support group and enhanced pip, housing benefit

Luckily my pip is valid until 2029.

I rent a one bedroom flat which was calculated at 1146.86 per calendar month

I'm In the process of waiting for first payment and receiving the last of my legacy next Wednesday.

Does anyone know what i what uc payment will be monthly. Trying to sort my finances and weather to ask for advance or if im ok to manage until first payment

You could try a benefits calculator:

Or maybe the Citizens Advice Help to Claim service can assist

I get transition protection so I'm unsure of total. Benefit calculator is more for new uc or existing. Old legacy is higher and protection by transitional protection .

I will try

Because you got the SDP you are unlikely to be better off on UC.

Transitional Protection should bring your UC award up to equal legacy benefits.

So you should be on the same money.
