in Universal Credit (UC)

Hello,

I woke up and had an emal from them its the same one as before talking about how ESA could impact my UC, since I was migrated over from ESA support group

they have always taken a 609 deduction per month

this month its only 220 meaning the UC is now 1,200

I just wonder please has anyone else had this? from the moment I migrated over

my payment was always less than my brothers even though we are in 100% exactly the same situation,

thank you. 🌞

    Hi,

    This has happened to a lot of people this month. The system has not calculated the rates increase correctly.

    You will need to contact UC to explain that they have paid you too much. You will need to pay the extra back.

    I think they messed up, a lot of people on here having the same problems. I have contacted them via journal. No response yet. I phoned them , all She did was read off my statements. Useless
