I must disagree with this. We were never granted eUps at the beginning. E-ups were always granted at the end of the period that you earned them in. Outside of 2025/26, the new system does mean that you get your e-ups earlier than you otherwise would have but for 2025/26, you don't get your select benefit eUps at all.

Wasn't an issue for me because I would not have taken the eUps but for those that always did, they lost some eUps. I did fine with the deletion of select benefits because my selections were 50K for a friend (which has been extended) and 100% bonus points, which has kind of, sort of, been continued with the 6X multiplier for SE
