I have noticed on my universal credit statement today that my carers allowance has not been deducted , and I'm being payed a full amount this month , it's due tomorrow,  should I he concerned? Is it an overpayment? I have not reported any changes ..

    You will need to put a message on your journal and tell them. Yes, you will have an overpayment because it should be deducted in full.

    Can I just make sure that your UC includes the carers element?

    This does sound confusing @jamie80, especially as you have never had an issue before  :(

    Would anything, in particular, help to make this more manageable and less confusing for you at the moment?  :)

    I can hear how knowing more about this is really important to you at the moment @jamie80. Do you feel able to ask them for a more detailed breakdown or some answers?  :)
