Benefit increases are paid from the first Monday after 6th April (start of new tax year). This year, that is the 10th April.Because UC is paid 1 month in arrears, this means assessment periods starting on or after 10th April (receiving their payments on 16th May onwards) will be the first to receive the uprated amounts, so no one will have yet received an increased payment on UC - that will happen for payments due on 16th May onwards (for the period 10th April to 9th May).Our green credentials: 12kW Samsung ASHP for heating, 7.2kWp Solar (South facing), Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5kWh), Net exporter1
