Universal credit question

[Angeldelight21]

Hello everyone,

I have recently applied for universal credit and first payment received this week. My last months salary included some backpay so will get less this month plus the tax deduction higher (went back to work in August)

Question, will the actual income be reviewed every month and UC adjusted accordingly?

Many thanks,
TIA

See response to your post in the Money thread,

Hi yes your employer payroll should digitally report income through the system and deduct accordingly; it will deduct relevant income for your UC assessment period, e.g. if you earned £300 Between 10th Nov and 10th Dec and your assessment period was between those dates anywhere it would be deducted for that period.

Yes it will. Mine varies every month depending on how much overtime I do.
