Got job offer but I’ll be training for five weeks, do i tell Universal Credit?

It’s with NHS 111. I think I get paid on the last Friday of the month, and I currently don’t have money for fares. When should I report it to UC, on the start date (tomorrow) or when I am paid?

  • I’d have thought that honesty is the best policy. JCP can support you with fares etc if they accept your case.

    Just tell them when you have started just incase the training falls through unless you are getting paid for the training?
