in Universal Credit (UC)
Hi everyone, so I am due payment in a weeks time but signed on and it says "£0" is that because I've started doing some work with the agency? to which I added on my journal.

    Any earnings you receive will reduce your UC by 63% because at the moment you don't have the work allowance. Have you received any earnings during your assessment period? You can check your statement and it will tell you exactly what deductions you had.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    I didn't ask if you'd received a payment from UC. I asked if you'd received any earnings from working since you claimed Universal Credit.

    Please have another look at your UC statement, it will tell you exactly what deductions you've had.
