Hi kareem,

If you look at the letter it should say under How Much You Will Get that there is a Top Up called Transitional Protection. You get Transitional Protection if your Universal Credit is going to be lower than what you get now.
So you should not lose out.

I have not applied yet. The first letter just states i must claim by certain date. There’s no amount.

Hi kareem,

That is correct. No actual amounts are given in the Managed Migration letter.

Hi kareem,

Yes there is also Voluntary UC Migration and Natural UC Migration. But these don't affect you.
In your Migration letter is there a paragraph on page 2 starting How Much You Will Get ?
