Withdrawing a Universal Credit claim
Options

Hello all,
Basically I have been claiming UC but started working at the start of the month. Before I started work I notified the Job Centre who advised I am entitled to UC payments until my wages come through and I don't have to attend anymore and everything will sort itself out. My first wage is due next week and I'm wondering if there's any point leaving my claim open, especially now it's paid monthly.
My next Universal credit payment says '07 September 2017 to 06 October 2017' so am I right in thinking I won't get a penny anyway because I'm going to be paid my actual wage during that period ? I've had a similar situation in the past where I was getting JSA weekly and they paid me up until the week my first wage went through, so I'm unsure as to wether they will pay me up until the day before my wages.
They have lied and stolen from me in the past and I've had very negative experiences with them, I'm a bit paranoid they are going to try and screw me somehow, would it be better for me to withdraw the claim now or am I still entitled to help for the past few weeks ?
Thanks

Even if you are working you might still be entitled to some top up on uc. Housing element as well. It depends on what you are earning..
It's paid four weeks in arrears. Which means you should get a final payment before you withdraw the claim. But how much you get will depend on how much you've earned during the assessment period
If you are due it next week it may have already been reported to the dwp by your employer.0 -
Don't withdraw your claim. It can negate any payments.
Just let it carry on, tell them youre working, HMRC will update them on your wages and the claim will end naturally.0 -
Please just cancel my claim0
