Hi,

UC is a means tested benefit and the any claim will depend on what your partner earns per month. Pop your details into the benefits calculator to see what it says. They are only as accurate as the info you put into them.

Are you saying you've been found fit for work after your assessment? If so then you can ask for a Mandatory Reconsideration (MR) you have 1 month from the date of the decision to request this.
