Trying to work out which parts of my ESA are CB or IR for migration purposes

It's disgraceful , I can't believe this hasn't been talked about more. Thousands of severely disabled people are going to be Thousands of pounds per year worse off, but it's hardly mentioned? There's rightfully been uproar about the winter fuel allowance, but nothing about the treatment of disabled people moving to UC.

I suspect that's why they provide TP, so people don't realise that they're going to be considerably worse off in a few years.

It may only be about 3 years before my TP is completely eroded, because if UC increases by 5%/year that's an extra £40/year and if my Housing Benefit increase by 5%/year that's an extra £30/year, so my £170 TP will be eroded by £70/year.

Sorry David, every time I review my figures it appears that I've misunderstood and miscalculated!

Currently my total ESA is £254.65/week which is £1103.48/month but I think £609.05 of that is CB ESA (standard + LCWRA = £140.55/week) and only the Severe and Enhanced Disability Premiums of £494.43/month are IR ESA. My pension of £65.18/month is then deducted from the IR ESA, but I end up with the same amount.

I also receive £608.87/month Housing Benefit. So that plus my IR ESA of £494.43 = £1,103.3/month + my CB ESA of £609.05 = £1712.35/month.

After I migrate to UC, I believe I will be entitled to £400.14/month standard allowance + £423.77 for the LCWRA element + £608.87 housing costs, totalling £1,432.78/month, which is £329.48/month MORE than I currently receive in IR ESA + Housing Benefit, so there won't be any TP.

Then my CB/New-Style ESA of £609.05/month plus my pension of £65.18/month will be deducted, which leaves £757.95/month UC. So in total I'll receive £757.95/month UC + £609.05 New Style ESA + £65.78/month pension, which comes to £1,432.78.

That means that as soon as I migrate to UC I'll be £279.57/month worse off than I am now, but I won't receive any TP because my UC (before deducting my other income) will be more than my IR ESA + Housing Benefit, and that's all that the TP calculation takes into account, not the CB ESA element.

Does that sound right?
