Bankruptcy and universal credit

Hi, I don't know what to do about this...
I went bankrupt in October this year and received my NT coding in November. Because of this, my paper income has jumped by about £300 - obviously this doesn't mean I have an extra £300 to spend because all of it needs to be paid to the OR! However, it's affected my partner's UC claim, reducing it by about £300 because I now supposedly "earn" more. I've offered to upload all the documentation to my partner's UC journal, but they're saying that I need to raise a dispute about how much I get paid. What can I do?

Hi,
You need to make a Mandatory Reconsideration asap (within a month of the decision)
Look at the procedure here:
https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-work-pensions/about/complaints-procedure
If they reject your MR, then you must appeal (again within a month)
Good luck.
