My partner had been reviving carers payment Scotland however he’s since closed his claim for it as they said he wasn’t actually entitled to it and he was earning too much so now he’s going to have to pay it back in installments which is fine however that amount every month was getting deducted £ for £ on universal credit…

Hi, My partner currently claims UC, PIP & LCWRA. He lives in a housing association property so gets the housing element included in his UC claim. He had a brain injury a few years ago which is why he can no longer work and therefore is entitled to higher rate PIP and also LCWRA. We have decided that we would like to live…

Hi there Hope everyone is well. Can anyone help me understand thus. Currently on LCW and UC is requesting a fit note that encompass all my health conditions that prevent me from preparing or working as I reported change of circumstances for health. Has this happened to anyone else? Do I just list the major conditions or…

I will need to separate our joint UC claim from my husband. He is currently in hospital awaiting rehousing and we cannot live together any longer upon his discharge. Is it best to wait until he has his new address before informing UC of the split and starting the process? I want as little hassle as possible and I'm…

CCan Someone please help, I was migrated to UC from working tax credits in January 2025. Despite gaving pip and mobility award and blue badge dwp did not assess my health. They have admitted this is an official error. I had transitional protection and I have read somewhere that if they had assesed me correctly at the…

Hi I was told my CAB, Scope and UC themselves that I would qualify for the 6 month disregard of capital after the sale of my late mum’s house in which I lived. Sale completed a week ago. I reported the capital which is in a joint executors account held by me and my sister. Her house purchase completes tomorrow. Mine has…

My universal credit claim was closed suddenly today and I need some advise. The reason was too much capital in a house I wasn’t occupying ( equity of 50 k ). I vacated the property after falling ill and staying with my elderly parents whilst recovering from major surgery. I have returned to the property after 6 months…

I'm having surgery in a few weeks time and will have 6-8 weeks off work afterwards. I'll only be receiving SSP during this time, will I likely be benefit capped?

April 20th and May 20th. Don't make sense to have a little lose money. Right now the bills etc a little rise up as always every year start with April and we should have a little rise up too. Does we need carers allowance or others? dont need - already in?

Hi guys. I have a issue with carers allowance backpay. I was recently accepted for carers element backpay. I messaged in my journal regarding another issue and was told I was no longer eligible for the backpay? I then asked for a MR and this was the response from them Im very confused. Can anyone help me with this? Thank…

Hello all, That exclamation mark is more enthusiastic than I am. I am flat. DWP state that I earned £1k during the last assessment period. I earned £225. Therefore, I have been underpaid by £320. Maybe more, I don't know as I have LCW but no LCWRA. I made two complaints two weeks ago and have heard nothing back. I was told…

I'm on uc lcwra and confused why my uc has gone up from 225 a fortnight to £426 a fortnight on May 5. My Tp has gone down to £210. My housing is £572.48 monthly So I thought it wasn't going up .

Hi, I made a claim for my grandma on 1st May for attendance allowance. We are still waiting to hear back from them. If she is successful, can I claim carers element of UC from the date we applied for attendance allowance (so would be back dated), or does it go from the date it is awarded?

hi I’m hopeing someone can shed some light on this, I had a message from uc in my journal a while back asking for 4 months bank statements, I’ve sent them off and now I have a phone appointment for half an hour to discuss, I’m worried sick over this to the point my anxiety is throu the roof. I’ve had a large payment go in…

hi guys, I had my UC review today and it’s made me realise how much I need to get my head out of the sand. I am the person who is meant to enter my husbands earnings and support him with tax - I have been putting 0 each month because I can not face doing it. Today she asked about a payment which was for my husband - to an…

I was overpaid uc, and paid today 11th May, over £200 back through bank transfer. Stupidly I put uc overpayment instead of my national insurance number. Would they be able to trace it.i phone tomorrow. Worried sick, how stupid I am

Hello, wondering if any of you can help me understand this as I’ve contacted UC stating that mine and my husbands joint claim has gone up by £400 for May and I’m worried we are getting overpaid but have not had a response yet Looking through the breakdown , UC are only deducting £200 rather from ESA than the full amount…

Hello, I just received my UC statement for this month. I know you don't get full new amount in May after April because tax year stars on 6th of April, but they still have my amount of NS ESA for last year £609.05. Will this update next month or do I need to tell them of new amount. I assume they know already as they knew…

As it comes up to voting time, please remember that Reform boldly and proudly say they are going to significantly cut benefits, especially to those who are receiving health benefits. They will make ALL assessments for benefits face to face with no exceptions. Reform also want to move to an insurance system (like the US…

Hi, I have been asked to attend a 'further evidence' appointment at my local job centre, this is after updating my money details on the website. Last year I received a lump sum backdated transitional protection payment which was around 6k. I haven't done anything with the money except open a SIPP which required 1k to open…

Cashing in lump sum and monthly pension whilst on UC

For some unknown reason, been overpaid. Dwp have not taken £605 from esa, but £166. I have put it on my journal last week, no reply from them. So the overpayment gone in. How do they take it back ? It would be the same for the 19th of this month. My rent is right amount. When do they actually sort this out . It is a worry

Hi everyone, Currently on a joint claim (Basic, LCWRA for me, Carers for partner) but I genuinely think my marriage is over. No housing element as house is mortgaged, no children. If I go to a single claim I believe my LCWRA is protected, but quite honestly I would rely on the £209 carers element to be able to afford…

I have been paid of work due to ill health and have received my first UC payment which was £78 because I had a pay from my employer last month. I am due to be paid a weeks wage for every year I was employed will this affect my next payment? It should be roughly £3000
