Does anyone get weekly or fortnightly payments?
Have switched over to UC and am struggling with monthly payments. I've always had my money paid weekly on a Friday and dealt with weekly budgets.
I was on ESA and still get PIP /Blue badge/tegistered diabled etc...
I'm feeling so stressed that I will run out of money at the end of the month because I'm just awful with money. I did so much better weekly

If they allow you to have more regular payments how does it work?

If they split it evenly it would mess up my housing Direct Debit because my housing is 600 and if they split it evenly incluslsing that I'd have to pay all of it and wouldn't have left over?
Or can I ask them to pay housing directly too?

Can you set up a savings account and transfer weekly?

You can request it on your journal

You can request and outline the reasons you've given here, fortnightly is most likely but weekly can be done in some cases.

Rent can also be paid directly to your landlord if you request this as we.

Thankyou.

Fortnightly would be alot better and I will ask about the housing because that's causing me stress too
