Universal Credit rise

Hi,
We get our Universal credit on the 3rd of each month, our assessment period is the 27th of one month to the 26th. Will our April 3rd payment reflect the 10 percent increase?
Thank you

No because your assessment period ends before the date of the rise. Your payment after that should be the new rates.1

The increase will only apply to the first assessment period that starts on 10th April or later.
In your case you will not see the increase until your payment on 3rd June.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.2
