In work credit

c1981

Does anyone know how the in work credit (£40 a week payments after returning to work) are paid? Is it paid weekly or monthly? I started work the middle of last month, and have just received a payment from DWP of £280. This seems too much to be the in work credit as I assumed it was paid weekly?

Many thanks

Not sure as we weren't entitled to it because were a couple could that not be your back to work grant and another thing

I've had the back to work grant of £250, so no idea what this is lol

It was several years ago that I received the in work credit, but it was paid weekly.

Are you saying only Single people can claim it?

When I went back to work about 4 years ago I received a one off payment of £250 and then £40 a week for the first year. The one of payment was to help with back to work costs. I also got full housing benefit for the first month.
Get a folder as every week you will get a letter saying the money has gone into your bank !

Baffled
back to work credit is paid weekly and its £40,
did you get help with your rent and was it paid to you direct.
You get four weeks housing benefit run on for starting work, is this it maybe

I do get help with my rent, but housing benefit has always been paid to me from the council, this says on my statement it's from DWP, I'm baffled as to what it is, as my rent is much higher than that lol

I think couples can claim it, but they only get £100
