Confirm previous earnings from work - For Universal Credit

In the 9 months before you claimed Universal Credit, were the total earnings of you and your partner less than £430 per month at any time?
My partner is self employed and so the earning varies each month such that some months the income is £200 , £250 , £600 etc .
The question states ''at any time'' so for some months its less than £430 so if i choose the option 'YES' I get this message to confirm.
''The total earnings from work for you and your partner were less than £430 a month.'' , here it doesnt say 'at any time'' and asked me to cinfirm if this is true.
Can some one please help me out. If i choose 'NO' for the answer i get a option to enter earnings for all last 9 months.

If some months she received less than £430 a month then you would put yes. Hope that helps.

If you don't qualify for NHS exemptions then for prescriptions you can pay monthly (its around £13 per month)works out cheaper than 2 items per month.

They don't send out an exemption certificate like Tax Credits did, but when you pick up the prescription there should be an option on the back you tick to say you receive Universal Credit.
If you scroll to the very bottom of your UC statement there should be another section called "Other support you may be able to get". Click on this and it'll explain about free prescriptions etc.

-Standard allowance
-Housing
-Children
My child is 17 year old, UC also minuses about £150 for 2 of my children who are adult.
My partner is self-employed and i am looking for part time work and i was put into part time education( its closed now due to Covid) but i was attending it and will continue.
We dont get PIP/DLA
Yes you are right this is really harsh because before we moved into UC we were always entitled Free NHS Prescriptions via Tax Credits awards.
And i was expecting payment to increase for UC during this COVID-19 as they removed the income floor for few months but it stayed the same and instead a Benefit Cap limit was added so payment is usual as before.
