UC & Inheritance question
Hi all. I have tried searching but haven't found an exact answer to this. I've discovered this week that a friend who has sadly passed away has left me some money from his estate. Not sure how much exactly this is going to be, but estimated to be in the region of £17-£20k. Now, I understand anything over £16k and you are…

PIP award
My daughter had her PIP stopped in November 2023, she had her tribunal heard on 16th Dec 2024 and was awarded the high rate for both parts, backdated to March 2023. 3 weeks ago I spoke, on my daughters behalf, to PIP, as it had been a few weeks and we had not heard anything.

AET
I've started a job that will pay me just over the current AET amount but if the AET rises in April (does anyone know how much it will be?) I will probably be just under. I have long covid which really isn't recognized and I struggle with fatigue so don't feel able to work more than I do. I'm over 55 and have a small…

Class 1 vs Class 3 NI credits (JSA/UC)
For context: {Edited because I'm not sure it's relevant now I have an answer} My question is, what (if any) advantage is there to claiming JSA along with UC? Financially now it makes no difference, I know it's paid fortnightly and it gives Class 1 NI credits, but what difference will the class 1 credits make in the long…

Bank balance & UC
I'm worrying that because UC is paid monthly it might send my balance over £6000. I don't know how much I'm going to get yet but I'm used to fortnightly payments not monthly. I've worked it out based on if I get the same as ESA but obviously 4 weeks worth. Do I have to tell them if it goes over? Thanks

ESA Migration to UC
Hi, I've received the dreaded letter saying I have to apply for UC now. I am currently on income related ESA with all the disability premiums.

Inheritance
Hi, Further to my last post. I posted this in the savings board and they advised asking on here. They were of the opinion I'd be best placed using it for my mortgage and replacing furniture, carpets etc that are old. Which I could do as most of my things are old. They said Pay off debts but apart from mortgage I don't have…

PIP Tribunal Representative
Hi, I have my PIP Tribunal Hearing on Monday. I appointed my husband as my representative when I submitted my appeal. I understand that a representative is often a professional, but can also be a family member, as in my case.
