Hi
I’m on long term ESA (support group) so I shall be migrated to UC at some point. Will I be counted as a new claimant and therefore only be paid half the health element despite being on benefits for many years? It does not seem fair if so but then when were the government ever really fair to claimants!

Hi redcat
You post a very good question and I do not have an answer.🤔
Hopefully the B&W newsletter will shed more light on the subject once the dust settles down, I was asked a similar question about someone going from DLA to PIP, and I had no answer I could give, yet.😵💫

my understanding is as long as you receive a migration notice and claim UC before the deadline there is a top up element called "trasitional element" which will match up with your current amount

Hi span131
You are correct but TP does not apply to what redcat is talking about.
