I got my UC on 24th March, my next payment is 10th April. Does that sound correct? I have heard people say its not exactly every two weeks like esa was. But mine has been since I migrated to uc last September. Thoughts please.
Hi,
Yes that's correct. It would be impossible for your bi-monthly UC payments to be exactly every 14 days as there are more than 28 days in most months.
The first payment arrives on a fixed date (unless it falls on a weekend or bank holiday, when it's paid the working day before), the second payment varies and will be different each month.
@OverlyAnxious That's what I thought. But thank you for confirming.
@Kimi87 Thank you for explaining.
I have UC paid twice monthly and it’s always the same 2 dates each month(except for weekends etc). The 2nd payment is 14 days after the 1st but then a slightly bigger gap back to the next 1st payment (depending on how many days are in the month)
I am so glad I have a journal. It's very simple that way.
UC is paid for a calendar month (30 days) so if a claimant gets two payments a month these will not add up to fortnightly (28 days).
Just a little reminder to keep things friendly please. We all access in different ways. 😊
The value must be greater than or equal to 1.
