Transitional protection

Hi MarshaBronson,

This is the guidance on Transitional Protection and Erosion from the Gov.uk website......
How long your transitional protection payments last..............
Transitional protection payments are not permanent. They can decrease or end if your Universal Credit entitlement increases.
If you’re eligible, your transitional protection payments will continue until................ your Universal Credit entitlement is the same or more than your previous tax credits or benefits you have a significant change of circumstances Changes that can decrease your transitional protection payments
Your transitional protection payments can decrease over time following a change in your circumstances. Changes can include: having a child starting to care for a child or disabled person an increase in housing costs (rent) a worsening health condition changes to government benefit rates This is because these changes are likely to increase your Universal Credit amount.
How your Universal Credit entitlement affects your transitional protection payments...............
If your Universal Credit entitlement increases, your transitional protection payment will decrease by the same amount. Childcare costs are the only exception. Further increases to your Universal Credit amount can eventually end your transitional protection payments. This will only happen if your entitlement is the same or more on Universal Credit.
Changes that end transitional protection.........
Significant changes to your circumstances will end your transitional protection. The following are considered as significant changes: a partner moving into your household a different partner moving into your household a partner leaving your household your earnings drop below an agreed amount for 3 months in a row your Universal Credit claim ends
