The government has issued guidance to help understanding of the amount of transitional element that may be payable if a client is worse off after managed migration from legacy benefts.
'When a claim is made and verifed, the transitional element is calculated using a Universal Credit amount that’s based on your known circumstances from the day before your claim. This amount is referred to as the ‘indicative Universal Credit award’.
At this point, the transitional element is the difference between the indicative Universal Credit award
and your previous legacy beneft amount.
