UC:Mix age couple Migration Notice

Yes your UC award should at least match your legacy benefits.

UC is a monthly benefit so you need to convert HB & ESA into monthly amounts.

To do this you multiply the weekly amount by 52 then divide by 12.

So HB £127.08 times 52 equals £6608.16 divide by 12 equals £550.68👍

SoESA £162.75 times 52 equals £8463.00 divide by 12 equals £705.25👍

So HB&ESA totals come to!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!! £1265.93 per month😊

So we should at least recieve this amount when we get our UC award(monthly)✅

    Thanks:Cheers👍

Also on one of my previous posts;

On the 30th May I contacted “Help to Claim”
& they gave me an estimate of what my/our
UC award would be:!!!!

This Estimate was £1255.93😦 “Amazing/Unbelievable”(any thoughts)

So the Help to Claim’ estimate of UC is made up as follows;

Standard Allowance: £628.10
Hounsing                 : £550.68
Carer                       : £201.68
LCWRA                   : £423.27
Trans Protection     : £449.95

Max UC                  :£2253.67 Minus Deductions
State pension        :£997.75 equals

Total Monthly UC. :£1255.93✅✅✅
 

So ESA&HB before Claiming UC; 

Esa: £705.25
HB : £550.68 
Equals              “1255.93”✅👍😊

So I am just Confirming that this is the amount of UC I should of at least be Recieving”(so I/We will be no worse of)💕

Someone please Clarify😊

Thanks 👍

You will get £1,255.93/month between your NS-ESA and the UC.

The actual breakdown will be:
ESA: £281.10 every two weeks (equivalent to £609.05/month)
UC: £646.88 every month

Thank you Yamor😊

So l have recieved letter from council;
Re: HB&CTR stating that these awards have been suspended because UC Data Share😦

I know about the 2 week run on for HB, but what should/will happen with regard to council tax reduction?

We currently get 75 per cent off!!! (we are paying some council tax)(approx) 

So our council knows we are/have made a claim for UC👍(this is good)!

Still worried about the Council tax reduction
😦

Any advice/guidance Re: Council Tax

Thanks to All💕

KxMx

Council Tax Reduction should recalculate your entitlement once UC award starts. 

As CTR is decided upon at a local level it's very hard to advise on individual cases from here. 

Some areas do treat UC differently to legacy benefits and some people have seen a reduced CTR award, so an increase in what they have to pay towards Council Tax.

Cheers KxMx😊

Will keep everyone in the loop👍
