AIBU?
Question about ctc/universal credit
Linnet · 24/09/2018 09:11
I’m posting here for traffic so not really an Aibu.
At the moment we claim ctc as a couple, between us we work over 30hours, split 20/22 so total 42 hours between us. I have the option of increasing my hours to 25 hrs a week.
According to the renewal form notes it says to inform them if your hours drop below 30hours if you claim as a couple.
On our renewal letter it says that they assume for 2018/2019 claim we will earn between £10,000 and £15,000 for the year(not actual figures given) and our earnings will still be within this bracket.
So do I need to tell them about my change in hours seeing as we are still working more than 30 hours between us? And would this mean that we have to move onto UC? Is it classed as a change in circumstances?

I would just phone and tell them what you've said here. Better to be on the safe side when it comes to benefits and change in circumstances.
