    It can be awkward to get it right for payment on a particular date.
    When I migrated myself a couple of years ago  I deliberately avoided month ends and decided that I would like to be paid UC on the 21st of each month.
    And then I miscalculated and got it wrong.
    21-7 = 14, so I claimed on the 14th, but of course that meant my AP runs 14th-13th each month and I get my UC payments on the 20th not the 21st. (Except for the usual we/bh variation).
    Not a great problem but a lesson learned.
