Did anyone not receive it today who were expecting it?
I have been in receipt of UC for approx 2 years. I earn £11000 a year so I was really expecting a payment.
I have an earnings dispute for this month as my employer reported my earnings wrong last month but it was only this months (28 june) payment which hasn't been received!

I was hoping to see mine in the bank today but no joy. I think they've said it could take until the end of the month - your payment shouldn't be affected as the entitlement criteria was based on April/May.

I wish there was a way of knowing when it would appear - it would be handy to be able to plan around having a b

*bit of extra income!

It wasn't "due in" today, it will paid any time until the 31st July.

They have started payments I never received mines but a friend received theirs. So anyone waiting should receive it by end of the month.

KilljoysDutch · 14/07/2022 12:42

From what I can tell from Facebook groups it seems people on ESA and Income Support have started to receive theirs today as they're a smaller group. I'm on ESA and had mine go into today.

Hey, I am on income support and have received mine thankfully. People I know on UC haven't got theirs yet. Fingers crossed it wont be long x

Mines showing in the bank ready for Monday and I'm on UC so maybe others will get it but it can be anytime between now and end of July

I have monzo so it tells me it's pending for Monday but I can get it tomorrow after 4pm - monzo pays early.

vegang · 14/07/2022 19:17

It's not due today, payments are being made from today

Mine is showing as pending in my bank and is arriving Monday

OnlyOpenMouthToChangeFeet · 15/07/2022 03:46

vegang · 15/07/2022 05:24

@Benefitshelp yes I'm on UC and it's arriving Monday (although I can access it at 4pm today, woohoo!)

Benefitshelp · 15/07/2022 07:02

Hmmm strange, nothing showing on my monzo app for monday

Kikimonty · 15/07/2022 07:48

It’s not very clear though is it, I think everyone knows it’s between now and the end of the month but two weeks is a long time for people who are struggling now.

I'm on tax credits, so it will be 'autumn', September to November?

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 16/07/2022 20:27

I'm with Lloyd's and still have no idea when it's going to come through

Kikimonty · 16/07/2022 21:51

No that’s even worse. 😩 . My friend tried to find out and was told it was due to the renewal of tax credits been the end of July it gives them time to process all the awards correctly.

Crazyhousewife · 16/07/2022 22:23

Barclays cleared mine today as payment was set for Monday however my universal credit is also Monday and was cleared today.

Benefitshelp · 16/07/2022 22:43

Still nothing for me, is anyone on universal credit and bank with monzo that can see it on their app clearing for monday or tuesday?

Leafy2022 · 17/07/2022 12:12

So mines is a bit complicated….

I had a payment within the assessment period required. Then my UC was closed as my partner forgot to accept their commitments 🙄 claim was then restarted but we did overtime so had a ‘nil’ award for end of June.

I would’ve thought though that we would still have received payment as were entitled to a payment for the 25th-24th apr to may assessment period? Anyone in similar position?
