Will be about 2500 over the £6000 but only for a few weeks.
If I report now , do I let then know when the balance falls below £6000?

If you have £8,500 you need to exclude that months UC payment as that's classed as income.Soconfused14 said:Ok so I should let them know anyway, do i do it as "report a change"?

So if UC is £1,000 pm then your capital is £7,500 and income £1,000 so you would be £1,500 over the £6k
