really need advice for UC

sazrun

hya, need some help
myself and my partner are moving in together so have main our seperate UC CLAIMSa joint one.
i previously basically didnt get anything as i am also on carers allowance as am his carer so all i actually recieved was the extra top up the give you for it.
i have been working part time, contract has now changed to 0 hours to be able to care for him.
my work contacted UC and provided them a lump some of my earns in one go instead of the 3 months of payments i had actually received it.
this means UC are taking £500 off us due to this high income i have apparently received and have a meeting on friday to take pay slips in to prove this is the case.
however what are the actual chances that id get any of the money back that they have taken off me for earnings?
the reduction basically means that our rent is taken away so we have 200 to live off for the month.

i would take your bank statement along with payslips to show that this wasn’t the case. If all the relevant evidence is there they will pay out the underpayment on your next payment date.

If earnings have been reported incorrectly then you have a very good case. It may be a bit of hassle to get it sorted but stick with it and you should eventually get the money you are owed

So you received 3 months of money from your job in one go or they told UC you did? If it's the former then it's unlikely you will get any money back, if it's the latter then you should get money back (after providing proof) but this is very unlikely to be before your next pay date for uc
