UC Migration Letter was created by robert
Hello
I received my UC Migration letter today. I m in a panic as I am not sure what to do.
It says I need to claim before the 25 January 2025.
I am currently In the Support Group of Income related ESA with the disability premium and this is a total of £481.10 every fortnight.
I heard that i will lose the disability premium so i am pretty scared as i have bills to pay. I have tried the calculators online and it says there is a transitional payment, but after that i will lose around 100 pounds per week. Is this correct? I will be struggling to pay for things. Can someone advise me.
Thanks

Hi robert,

Have a look at this post about Citizens Advice Help to Claim by a member.
www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/kunena/10-dla-...aged-migration-to-uc
Help to Claim do an estimate of your transitional protection so it would be worthwhile phoning them on the number at page 2 or your Migration letter.

Hi robert,

I think you could get advice from Help to Claim on that subject.
