  Have you checked that you will be better of on UC ? It might be worth a chat with local welfare rights or using a benefits checker like "turn2us"

  I will now only offer benefits advice on PIP, and specific benefits advice for other people with Epilepsy.

  Then that might be the way to go, but do be aware that UC is currently boosted by £20 per week, which will end in April unless he extends it in the budget on March 3rd

  Please don't transfer just for the money. Once you are on UC you are on it and there's no going back
