HELP. I'm suspended on my job. I'm asking about an advanced payment on UC. How much could I get?

thinkingsoul

@calcotti I appreciate your help. I'm not the sharpest tool in the box lol. I give my mum money every month when I get my PIP. it's just me and my mum. I signed up to UC as I've handed my notice in and don't want to work with horrible vile bullies. So got a hearing start of December. I do apologize it's just me saying the wrong thing that's all. so will I get 324 every month then?

@calcotti ok then. I no I am entitled to it regardless of what you say. but thanks 

If you receive any final earnings from your employer within your assessment period then this will reduce your UC by 63% as previously advised. So do be aware that your first UC payment maybe reduced to zero because of earnings.

@poppy123456 your a ? thank you so much for your speedy replies. it says on the 18th October it will tell me how much I'm going to get. does that sound correct? Just I'm not clued up with UC. Still learning it lol

poppy123456

It will depend on when you started your claim. If payment is expected on 24th October then yes statement on 18th October is correct. You will have a statement on 18th of each month going forward.

@poppy123456 once again thanks for your reply. I am going to get a fit note for 1 month off my doctor. as I can't work. do I just upload it when I get it from my doctor? also do I get loads of UC letters in post or is most of it done on my account? If that makes sense.

poppy123456

You need to make sure you get the fit note and report it within 7 days of reporting your health condition. Yes, just report it onto your journal. If you can get your GP to write it for longer than 1 month it would be better. It is likely to take months to have the work capability assessment and you need to continue to send fit notes until a decisions been made on your claim. 
UC is a digital claim so online only, you won’t receive any letters in the post. All letters will be uploaded onto your journal.

@poppy123456 perfect. I will get it uploaded tomorrow then. thank you so much for all your help. I agree the lady said it would take months anyway, she just said if you keep uploading your UC with them on you will still get paid. she was very helpful, told me how to report changes, how to use it. She was great! she said if I do decide to get a advanced payment I can get it the same day! not sure how true that is , as didn't no it could be in my account the same day tbh

poppy123456

No problem. Yes, advance payments are usually sent as fast payments and received on the same day.

@poppy123456 she said because she has verified me I can apply for it on my UC. Do I need to call them up? the lady said everything you need to no is all on your UC account. saves calling up all the time?

That’s correct.

@poppy123456 I've applied for a advanced payment. it says they will let me no it it's approved. also say it will be 27th September can't wait till Monday, do I tell them this? I no people that got it the same day in there bank ?

thinkingsoul

@poppy123456 if you can get back to me that will be great

poppy123456

If it's approved all you can do is ask for a fast payment to be made.

thinkingsoul

@poppy123456 I have put it on my Journal. Or should I call them? I put it on a 8:10am this morning

poppy123456

I think you are going to have to give them time to reply. It hasn’t even been an hour yet.

Yes indeed, my thoughts exactly.
