June 2022 in Universal Credit (UC)

Hi everyone

I have just looked at what I will be getting this month and I have noticed this on what they say I get off esa, I'm a little confused .

Other benefits

We take money off your payment

As this is an average of other benefits that you're continuing to claim

Employment and Support Allowance minus ‑ £509.60

I get 235.20 a fortnight

My Assessment period: 27 May to 26 June 2022

  Yes, that deduction is correct. It's because ESA is a weekly benefit paid fortnigtly. UC is a monthly benefit. There's 4.3 weeks in a month.
  

  To work out the monthly payment you do the following.. £117.60 x 52 = £6,115.20/12 = £509.60

  There will be 1 month in the year where you will receive 3 ESA payments, rather than 2.
