Transitional Protection is an extra amount which tops up a Universal Credit. This matters, because for some groups of people, Universal Credit is less generous than the benefits it replaces.
Transitional Protection probably makes you think of ‘protection’. The key word, however, is ‘transitional’; it just means the claimant sees a gradual reduction in their benefits compared to what they had had under the old system.
