Uc confusion between earnings and non earnings.

A couple of. Months ago dhs employer didn't submit earnings in time which meant UC thought he was out of work. We got 1176.. Based on 0 earnings..

This month he's been furloughed so take home was 1500 wage.. Yet they've paid £1260 uc

A normal wage of take home 1800.. =UC £885

It seems a rather large payment this month.

Sorry the month they thought he didn't earn was 1600.
And they said to keep the difference as the following month wouldn't get a payment.

It really depends what earnings are reported by his employer during your assessment period dates. The payment received seven days after your assessment period ends reflects that. You must have a pretty high Uc entitlement to still be getting £885 Uc with £1800 wages??

On your journal it will explain what had been taken into account?

Yes it's high because of the rent increase.
The summary shows to the penny his take home. So guess it must be correct?
