Universal credit

So when entering income..(on br application)
What do you key if the amount of universal credit is different every month??? Same applies for wages? Thanks.

If your income is from benefits only then you won’t be subject to a IPA, so it’s not overly important that you get it spot on. Just put last month’s down because i they look at your bank statements it will show you used the last known value.

I only get benefits but husband works we are applying seperatly obviously but his wages differ ever month hence so will our universal credits. Plus they are paid jointly to us.. So when inputting on my application do j enter half the amount (as its in both names) or whole amount?

If it were me I would put 50% of the UC down as my income and the other 50% plus husband’s income as other household income. Then explain it at your interview.

Doesn't matter what he earns, he is not included on your BR - only in his. They treat you separately

Hi,

You will not get an IPA as your income is benefits only. Your husband might - depending upon income / expenses.
Why not pop up your SOA on here for us to look at.
