UC Migration

Hi,

I have just got notice that my UC migration figure has been calculated.
This is where I am finding it hard to understand.
I am in the LCWRG group.
I was getting a Carer Premium instead of Carer’s Allowance as I had an underlying entitlement to it.
I was getting income related ESA and Contribution based ESA.
In my migration letter it says I will get a Transitional Protection.
They have taken off £83.07 for Carer’s Allowance even though it was Carer’s Premium I was getting of £46.40. I thought the Transition Protection would prevent me from losing the Carer’s Premium amount?
I think I read someone else here having problems with their Carer’s Premium after being migrated to UC.

Any help or advice from anyone would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Thank you so much for your reply Gary.

I had a person helping from Citizens Advice but she is off on leave at the minute.

I understand I cannot claim both the Care Element and LCWRA on Universal Credit but am I wrong in thinking the Transitional Protection would protect the £46.40 a week Carer Premium I was getting with my ESA?
I am just trying to get my head around this.

Thank you.
Jessica

Thank you Gary for all your help.

I will try and find the other post on the forum.
