Universal credit child element

What you regard as double standards is in fact the law. I appreciate your frustration, but civil servants applying the law are not to blame. Talk to your MP, s/he can't change the law immediately, but they need to know the effect it has on their constituents and be held accountable. This board doesn't allow political comment, so I won't post further to avoid a smacked wrist.

Its the way the system works it is not a target against claimants....it also can work the other way around to benefit claimants, I got the full Carer Element even though I had only started caring 8 days before the end of the assessment period. I've also had the exact opposite happen and lose my element for the entire month. Its your circumstances at the end of the assessment period that counts.
