To ask Her Majesty's Government whether, following the High Court ruling that Universal Credit unlawfully discriminates against claimants transferring from legacy benefits resulting in the loss of Disability and Severe Disability Premium, they intend to change that guidance so that transfer to Universal Credit will not be effected until transitional protection is given.

The court found in the Department’s favour on three of the four points raised by the claimant. We will be applying to appeal on the one point that the court found against the Department. On 7th June, prior to the judgment, we announced changes that would help people who receive the Severe Disability Premium. These changes will form part of the Universal Credit Managed Migration and Transitional Protection Regulations which we intend to bring forward in the Autumn. The intention is that once legislation has passed, people on legacy benefits who get the Severe Disability Premium will stay on their legacy benefits until they can be managed migrated to Universal Credit, at which point transitional protection will be in pace. We will also consider retrospective protection for people previously in receipt of Severe Disability Premium who have already moved onto UC.
