To think i should have delayed being on Universal Credit?

[malificent7]

I used to be better off on tax credits. Im better at budgeting with weekly/ fortnightly amounts plus i felt better off.

I have never felt so skint as on universal credit and i work hard.

My friends on tax credits seem more comfortable. I felt pressured into it by the job centre when in reality i could have waited. Doh!

I think UC might be better in the long run
Isn't the idea that you can update monthly income so that you don't get horrendous overpayments like with tax credits?
