Moving on to State Pension from Universal Credit.

4 Posts

Hi I am trying to find out how the universal credit runon payment is calculated when you move off universal credit onto state pension, My UC assessment period was 19th to 18th and my state pension retirement date is the 1st.
Universal credit have taken into account as unearned income 18 days of state pension and left a shortfall balance paid for the period 19th to the 31st. Thanks.

EDIT: OP's post has now been moved to the Benefits Page.
I have since found out that there is a little known rule where you can ask for a pro-rata payment to be made in my case from 19th to 31st to then pay the correct amount, this is according to the advisory service "Housing Systems" so you advice has been really appreciated
Thank you.
I am not aware of any rule which allows for partial payments.
Similarly with Housing Benefit if applicable.

In my opinion most claimants are glad to be off UC and are glad for the boost in income the SP brings, so are unlikely to cause a fuss, there could be thousands of people affected its time to talk to my MP. Thanks for the input.
Thank you for the correction
