Universal credit

Hi everyone..I need some information and I hope someone can help me..on June 19th I will receive my UC payment but on June 20th so the next day I would like to close the claim because on June 27th I will leave England forever and I'm scared if they could ask me for the June payment back because the day after the payment I will close the claim.. do you think they can ask me for this money back? or is it better to give up the June payment and close everything early?Thank you so much

    UC is paid in arrears based upon what has already happened so no, closing the claim would not mean they want some or all of it back.
