    For UC it is only based on your last statement and could change each assessment period, depending on any earnings.
    As advised in first reply, but well worth repeating because I think this is something that can be confusing for UC claimants.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    and I have seen people caught out who are paid 4 weekly, and thus have one assessment period in the year in which there are two sets of earnings received and they may not qualify for help - make sure you don't need the dentist that month or you'll be paying (or receiving a fine if you claim support)
