    It means that your usual UC amount will be split into 2 equal payments. One payment will be on 23rd of each month and the other will be 14 days later.

    My cousin who is a drug addict also gets paid like this, it can be requested but they only do it in special circumstances.

    In certain areas of the UK you don't need special circumstances, but yes mainly it's for those struggling financially either to budget or with other reasons. 
    Many people are used to being paid weekly or fortnightly so it's a huge change to suddenly budget monthly.
