in Universal Credit (UC)
Hi, I seen a post on here about suspending a claim if accessed from abroad,

I receive LWCRA and current have a on going issue about an underpayment recently, am I likely to get my claim suspended if I access it from abroad? I’m flying to Prague on Monday to see family and will be having to maybe reply to some comments in my journal regarding the underpayment, will this mess up my claim? 

Thanks

    It may cause issues yes. Are you also aware that when claiming UC the maximum time you can be out of the country is 28 days any longer than this and your UC will end.

    Or would using a VPN and selecting UK IP cause no issues?
