in Universal Credit (UC)

I've got my payment statement for my first ever payment after managed migration (wasn't managed very well but hey ho)

Is this amount for 4 weeks for 5? Is this the same I'll get each month (if it all stays the same) or is the first payment more?

    UC is paid 1 month in arrears so it's for 1 month. If your statement includes all the correct elements and you or a partner don't receive any earnings your UC payments should be the same each month.

    Thank you I'm just asking as its been 5 weeks since we claimed and don't want to get the amounts wrong etc.

    No problem. Yes, I know it's been 5 weeks but UC is a monthly benefit so your payments will always be for 1 month.

    You also had the 2 week run on for ESA so it hasn't been 5 weeks without money.

    No that's absolutely fine I just don't want to get used to this set amount only for it to not be the amount and it drips next month, thank you
