Hi,

Can anyone help me with this? I am paying off 2 advancements on UC there are also taking £10 off for council tax errors in total I'm being deducted £58 pounds leaving me with £334 per Month. The advancements I've already received are a budgeting advance and waiting on claim advance. Is there a chance I could get another as I'm really going to struggle this month. I'm awaiting a LCWRA payment also

    Help @JQ76. I'm sorry to hear you are struggling. Unfortunately while paying of a budgeting advance you will not be able to get another advance. Do you know how much of your budgeting advance there is left to pay?

    Have you checked you are receiving everything you are entitled to and that your UC claim is correct?

    It can be possible to ask them to pause repayments of advances if you haven't done it before. Do you know when you are due your first LCWRA payment?
