If you get paid weekly, and there are 5 weeks in a month, in those months your pay will likely go over the Universal Credit limit and your UC will be stopped. You will have to go without that month and apply again.
WTF are they thinking?
Have they never heard of averages FFS? (That's how Tax Credits works). This is going to screw over so many people. It's ludricous.
The people claiming UC aren't any richer that month, they get the same amount of money as if it was paid in 12 monthly chunks.
This will happen to thousands of people every time there's a month with 5 weeks. (I guess they mean 5 Mondays?)
This is farcical.
There's 5 weeks in January, so if you get paid weekly that's you fucked for February.
April, July, October and December also have 5 Mondays.
This is utterly farcical and just plain callous.
