Hello a bit of Advice Needed If Anyone Can Help Please, With Regards To The Benefit Increase That Went Up April 6th Was It Just Certain Benefits that increased As l've Just Looked In My Universal Credit Journal As I'm Due To Be Paid Friday And There's No Increase On Any Of My Benefits. Just Wondered If Anyone Knew If This Was Correct. Thank you

The benefits I’m looking querying are 

Disabled Child element

Standard couple over 25 joint claim 

Lwrca

Carers element 

Standard support for children 

All these benefits are still the same rate as before April 6th. 


Thank you

    The benefits increases started on 10th April and not 6th. For those claiming UC the first to see the increase will be those with assessment periods that start from 10th April, with the first increase starting from 16th May.
    If your payment date is 12th of each month this means your assessment periods are 6th to 5th of every month. You won't see the increase until your payment on 12th June.
    The elements you mentioned above are all part of UC and will all increase next month.
