I don't know if the hearing has finished and if so, what the result is, but let's hope for a good result for the severely disabled people affected.

I believe the hearing has finished, a decision will likely be weeks rather than days.

I'm sorry but this is not going to be sorted today, tomorrow or even this month. You can chase your JC+ but they may not even be aware of the change yet.
The rates are as follows
2. The transitional SDP amount, calculated by reference to the date of the determination, is—
(a) in the case of a single claimant—
(i) £120, if the LCWRA element is included in the award, or
(ii) £285, if the LCWRA element is not included in the award;
(b) in the case of joint claimants—
(i) £405, if the higher SDP rate was payable and no person has since become a carer for either of them,
(ii) £120, if paragraph (i) does not apply and the LCWRA element is included in the award in respect of either of them, or
(iii) £285, if paragraph (i) does not apply and the LCWRA element is not included in the award in respect of either of them.

Thanks also for the figures, it's been difficult tracking down what to expect having lost about £40 per week. I'm still not clear on how much of that loss will be made up but I'll go over the calculation in the light of your reply.
