Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to the Written Statement of 7 June 2018, HCWS745 on universal credit, what plans she has to support universal credit claimants in receipt of Disability Premiums once transitional protections are ended.
This question was answered on 18th June 2018
Following the Written Statement HCWS745 on 7 June, claimants with the Severe Disability Premium will only be moved to Universal Credit with access to Transitional Protection (TP).
The point at which a claimant will no longer be eligible for TP will be dependant upon changes in their individual circumstances.
