Universal Credit - May's payment

Hopefully I've posted this in the right place.

I've just checked my payment statement for May and I think it's incorrect. The figures have been calculated using the 2022/2023 allowances not 2023/2024. The assessment period is 6 April to 5 May so I assume it should have been calculated at the new rate. I've raised it with UC but wondered if anyone else has spotted this? Or maybe I have got it wrong?

I had the same. Your assessment period had to start from 10th April in order to get the new payment figures. I raised it and this was what I was told

Your statement next month will have the new amounts x

Ahh fab, thank you.

I almost felt bad pointing it out but if the boot was on the other foot, they'd be all over it!
