Hello, I believe a mistake has been made on my statement for June. Can anyone help to see whether I’ve worked this out correctly please…

ASSESSMENT PERIOD 5th MAY > 4th JUNE

29th April - paid £460 for May for children A&B. £460 / 31 days in May = 14.83 per day.
31st May - paid £462.50 for June for children A&B. £462.50 / 30 days in June = £15.41 per day.
Child C - 30th May (1day) = £35.75

Sooo…
5th May > 31st May = 27 days x 14.83 = £400.41.
1st June > 4th June = 4 days x £15.41 = £61.64

400.41 + 61.64 + 35.75 = 497.80.
85% of £497.80 = £423.13.

Yet UC have put my childcare costs as £370.94.

Where am I going wrong 🤯🤯🤯

Based on those numbers, it looks like they haven't verified the childcare of £462.50 you paid on 31st May yet. Chase them up via your journal.

Thank you so much….your brain works much better than mine 🤣 You’re right, it would appear the 4 days of June haven’t been accounted for 🤦🏼‍♀️
