Moving Home Transitional Protection Question

Hi Guys,

I am looking at moving home from one local authority to another, this is so I can be closer to my support network.

I am currently on UC with transitional protection intact.

What I would like to know is how, if at all, my UC/transitional protection will be affected if I move?

I have heard of 3 different scenarios:

1. That if the new rent is over what I pay now then I will have to find the extra myself.

2. That if the rent is less than I am paying now then I will loose the equivalent amount.

3. That if I move I will loose all of the transitional protection money.

So yes I am somewhat confused and would like to know what the correct answer is.

I would really like to move to be closer to my support network but I can't make the move if I would be seriously worse off financially.

Thanks in advance.

HI David,

Many thanks for your reply, it is very much appreciated.

That is what I thought but there is so much miss-information out there I just needed to check.

Thanks once again.

Best,

Keith
