Hello a bit of Advice Needed If Anyone Can Help Please, With Regards To The Benefit Increase That Went Up April 6th Was It Just Certain Benefits that increased As l've Just Looked In My Universal Credit Journal As I'm Due To Be Paid Friday And There's No Increase On Any Of My Benefits. Just Wondered If Anyone Knew If This Was Correct. Thank you
The benefits I’m looking querying are
Disabled Child element
Standard couple over 25 joint claim
Lwrca
Carers element
Standard support for children
All these benefits are still the same rate as before April 6th.
Thank you

The benefits increases started on 10th April and not 6th. For those claiming UC the first to see the increase will be those with assessment periods that start from 10th April, with the first increase starting from 16th May.If your payment date is 12th of each month this means your assessment periods are 6th to 5th of every month. You won't see the increase until your payment on 12th June.The elements you mentioned above are all part of UC and will all increase next month.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
