Gov.uk*

Hey, sorry if this seems like a trivial matter, but I was wondering if anyone can point me toward the updated version of this (I can't find any succinct examples anywhere):

gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/469192/how-uc-helps-make-work-pay-graph-may2015-watermark.pdf

I'm in a similar situation to the 20 hours per week criteria in the middle (me on £400 rent, taking home £640ish) but my entitled to and other web calculations seem to end up with me being entitled to far less than the £392 it suggests there. Has the rules / amounts changed a lot since a year or so ago?

Thanks

    I can't get the document to open - but it could be to do with changes to work allowances from April 16. They were reduced quite a lot for some groups of claimants.

  • Sorry, had to remove the www. bit at the start or it wouldn't let me post. Should have mentioned that.

    If that's so then that seems to be quite a significant drop, perhaps almost as much as half in my situation to what it would have been a year ago.
