UC payments
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.

I have UC paid twice monthly and itβs 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)

Nope, the payments are fortnightly, so from 24.3.26, the most recent payment should've been yesterday.

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).

which is why i said IF they can use the internet which is the only skill needed, no need to be rude, nothing common sense about it. tired of how negative you are to me
