universal credit

My daughter gets paid every 4 weeks 772 pounds this is under the benefit earning amount of 793.

So she has deducted 260 pounds  benefit gap but she gets  1036 pounds  a year wages 772 x13  and benefit gap 793 times 12  9516 so she should not have the gap taken off is they any thing that can be done about this can she appeal

£772 per 4 weeks works out at roughly £836 a month (times by 13, divide by 12), which puts her well over the Benefit Cap rate of £793. Going by the maths in your post, you can see her yearly earnings put her over the limit by around £500 too. 

Therefore she can't appeal that she is under the limit. Though it doesn't appear that she is £260 a month over it, if that is what you are saying?

@Jyana The OP wants to be over the threshold, for benefit cap purposes.

Unfortunately, the Regs are clear that it depends on earnings in any particular month.

This issue has been looked at by the courts:
