Hi. I have applied for Universal Credit and been seeing my advisor weekly. I have been informed I will be payed at the start of next month as it takes a while to start the payment. The thing is I have been offered a trial and if I am successful I will start work Monday - which is great. But I am worried as I dont know if Universal credit will pay me up until the first day I get work or completely cancel my payment that is due very soon. If they were to cancel it as I now have work, I dont know how I will survive for another month without payment and would struggle a lot.
Does Universal Credit pay you if you start work before payment - as in will they pay you the days you have not been in work???????

Yes, your claim begins on the date you applied for UC online, but the first 7 days are deemed 'waiting days' so do not accrue £, so after 5 weeks you'll receive 4 weeks' worth of UC £.Please be polite to OPs and remember this is a site for Claimants and Appellants to seek redress against their bank, ex-boss or retailer. If they wanted morality or the view of the IoD or Bank they'd ask them.0
