in Universal Credit (UC)

I was looking at my past statements on my uc journal and when I migrated I got a final 2 week payments. But when UC generated my first statement, they took back almost £70 of my final 2 week payment saying I wasn’t entitled.


I know it’s only £70, but seems unfair. Can I challenge this and get it back?

    The 2 week run on isn't counted. But often ESA doesn't get cancelled quickly enough when UC starts. So chances are that £70 was a genuine overlap, separate from the 2 week run on. There's no harm in querying it through the journal though.
