Hi!

I received my UC on the 13th. Today I have received a payment of £31.78 into my bank and its referenced as being from Universal Credit. I am waiting for my LCWRA element but this was awarded in November and will not be paid until March. I am unable to call them at the moment but will be doing this afternoon but in the meantime I was wondering if anyone had any experience of info on this?

Thanks!

    HI,

    We could only guess what the payment is for and only they can tell you that i'm afraid.

    Thanks @poppy123456 & @Chloe_Scope! I gave them a call and they have said UC has made no payment to me and could it possibly be related to my PIP claim. I told them the reference in the payment is my NI number then it says DWP UC and that I though PIP and UC were 2 completely different payments so why PIP would use UC as a reference is a little confusing. That being said I'm about to give PIP a call because no one from UC can find out where it has come from! The search continues
