I'm not sure how sanctions and deductions for other benefits in payment (carers allowance and JSA/ESA etc) are treated with respect to a NIL award.Annoymous90 said:Would UC reduced to £0 due to a sanction be classed as a nil award

I haven’t received payment yet but not in a panic as I know the payment window is up until the 31st and it appears I am eligible.However, went back to CAB yesterday (trying to sort out an issue with HB overpayment from years ago) and the advisor who previously said I would not be entitled to the COL payment asked if I had received payment yet. When I told her that I am still waiting, she again said that I wouldn’t be eligible and thought I might receive payment when those who are in receipt of TC receive theirs.I claimed UC on 25th April (AP 26th April - 25th May) and my last TC payment was on 26th April.Does that sound right to anyone?0

If your UC assessment period ended on 25th May I would expect you to get that first payment through DWP.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.0
