    So they get updated every month and calculate deduction automatically?

    This is my worry with going on to UC. They demand you to take any and all hours available saying you will always be better off in work ,but I just don't believe it it. Typical jobs these days involve four 4 hour shifts or something so that's up to £40 quid on travel a week. 

    They seem to have forgotten all about single people without rent ever since they cancelled for single person allowance. Add to that loss of CTR and it's effectively means you need to find a full time job to move off benefits still.
