Transitional payment

Stop the erosion of esa to universal credit for disabled people.

Why is this important?

Because the inflation, and cost of living, food and energy have increased by 11%, but Universal Credit takes this annual increase in UC away from those previously in receipt of Esa severe disability payment and enhanced premium once migrated to a universal credit each year, making no increase for people as Universal Credit is not a suitable benefit for disabled people at all.

No benefit from annual increase rates to Universal Credits means disabled, limited work activity group, previously awarded Esa far worse off, and struggling immensely to keep up, cope with rising cost of living.
