Universal Credit the 149 payment

[Singlemamax]

Looking for some info on this? Has anyone had it? I switched to UC approx 15th July. Currently getting the max deductions off me at 120 a month. So any small boost right now would be a big help. Also read that UC us increasing for those that were on legacy benefits but not sure if it will happen. Don't get maintenance and never will. Don't want to elaborate, sorry.

Single mum, 1 child. Finding work right now is so difficult but just have to keep trying.

Is the deduction for an advance repayment? if so you may be able to get that reduced. The increase is only for claimants who were receiving severe disability premium on legacy benefits. Have you checked all your Uc elements are correct ? do you work ?

There Is information about deductions on citizens advice website including a few things that you can do
