Thanks Mark
Doesn't really give much detail how it will be phased out though -
I’d imagine it will be announced how it will work exactly closer to the time.

I heard on the radio it was going ahead and had been already agreed, but then again that's the media reporting so who knows?

****i got the date wrong***Assessment periods that end on 5th October or before get the uplift - ending 6th October or later don’tStandard Allowance modification2.—(1) For any assessment period in relation to an award of universal credit, where that assessment period ends on or after 6th April 2021 and before 6th October 2021 regulation 36 (table showing amounts of elements) of the Universal Credit Regulations 2013(c), as amended by the current up-rating order, is to be read as if the amounts of the standard allowance were each increased by £86.67.

There is some serious opposition to this from within the Tory party six former DWP secretary's have written suggesting it would be wrong, and a number of the new intake who won seats across the "red wall" are far from happy, so if there is a smell of a commons vote expect the govt. to back down in some way.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

Phased out is a misnomer in as much as it implies a gradual change. It is likely to be an abrupt step.lisathomas50 said:Mike is the 20.00 a week going to stop ??Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

Well, lets hope Boris gets the sack and has to claim, what fun that would be, it is shocking, you cannot give people something they become to rely on and then take it away, this is cruel.

Boris is far too rich to claim UC.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡
