Universal credit stopped

Posts: 25 Forumite
I've been claiming universal credit while working full time and would always receive a payment if only working my basic hours, next month will be my 6th month in a row where I've not had any universal credit payment due to having hammered overtime for Christmas.
I believe that my claim will now be closed due to 6 months with no payment, I expect to go back to my basic wage in January which would normally mean a payment from Universal Credit. Will I be able to start a claim as soon as I go a month with basic wage and if yes then am I likely to have to submit new bank statements and all ID again?

You can reclaim within 6 months via action on claim when you sign in, without having to submit a brand new claim.The comments I post are personal opinion. Always refer to official information sources before relying on internet forums. If you have a problem with any organisation, enter into their official complaints process at the earliest opportunity, as sometimes complaints have to be started within a certain time frame.1
