Universal Credit for sick or disabled people. If you move from Employment and Support Allowance ESA to Universal Credit and have already been assessed as having limited capability for work or limited capability for work and work-related activity, and there is no break in your claim, UC may be able to use the ESA WCA outcome decision.
This means if you received the work-related activity component in ESA and there is no break in your claim, you will receive the limited capability for work addition in Universal Credit. If you received the support component in ESA and there is no break in your claim, you will receive the limited capability for work and work-related activity addition in Universal Credit.
If you claim Universal Credit whilst appealing against a Work Capability Assessment decision that relates to your previous ESA claim, you will not be able to return to income-related ESA, even if your appeal is successful. You will remain on Universal Credit and any relevant changes will be made to your Universal Credit payments. If you were entitled to the severe disability premium SDP in the month before you made your Universal Credit claim, you may be able to receive an SDP-related transitional protection amount as part of your Universal Credit payment.
You will be told about this through your Universal Credit account. If you have recently separated from your partner who received the SDP, you will need to apply for Universal Credit within one month of separating if you are to receive the transitional protection amount.
If you start work or begin earning more, your transitional protection amount may be affected in the same way as the rest of your Universal Credit payment.
If you have a change of circumstances that would increase the amount of Universal Credit you get, your transitional protection amount will be reduced by the same amount.
Your total Universal Credit payment will therefore stay the same unless the increase is larger than your transitional protection amount, at which point your Universal Credit will increase. This can be done through your Universal Credit account. You can also get someone else to report the change for you. Find out more about how cookies are used on this site and why we want to use them.
