I am about to claim my works pension. My next (fortnightly) UC payment is on the 19th of April. I assume it is paid in arrears. What period does this cover  ? I want to stop claiming benefits at the right time.

Thank you

Eric

    Hello, the best line of enquires is to ring the UC helpline or your work coach or go on your online journal nice to hear somebody trying to do the right thing and not claiming more than they should.

    Thanks Wilko. I trust this forum more than my work coach.

    Well it turns out it wasn't so simple. I asked UC staff through my account.

    I actually get paid on the 22nd April (not the 19th) and two weeks later (for the period 16 March 2019 to 15 April).

    I was first paid on the 22nd and that continues monthly (even though I also get paid two weeks later).
