<p>People who are being moved to Universal Credit (UC) from Employment and Support
Allowance take with them their Work Capability Assessment decision. They are not required
to have another assessment to get the disability element they are entitled to on Universal
Credit.</p><p> </p><p>At the point of moving over to Universal Credit as part of the
managed migration process, all claimants will be assessed for transitional protection
and paid where appropriate. Transitional protection is designed so that eligible claimants
will not have a lower entitlement to Universal Credit than they had entitlement to
legacy benefits, at the point they move to the new benefit system.</p>
