in Universal Credit (UC)
My statement for universal credit shows the old amount from last month, and does not reflect the amount it tells you it now is on the .gov website due to the benefits increase this month for most benefits. I also get higher pip for daily living and mobility, and I only got 616.07 instead of 627.60 which is what it should work out to now because of the increase for this month. I’m confused. Can someone help ?

    hi @cwatson0000 I don't get universal credit but I do get PIP at the higher amount for both parts and I was similarly affected I believe this could be because we get paid weekly and if the day that the increase happened created say two days paid at a lower rate because the amount hadn't changed by then that will mean the full weekly amount would be lower as both of us have found hope that makes sense!
