Hello, I recently returned to work from maternity and receive UC.
I was paid incorrectly and sent more money later that day from my work,
UC has only took into account my first amount of pay so we have been paid more than usual.
Will they ask for it back? Or will it just show I’ve earned more next month and we won’t get much?
Not sure if I should call them or not and explain!

Ask a question on your journal.

I think they should be able to manually recalculate.

On the other hand, if it only affects the amount UC is reduced by the 55p/£1 taper, wait/see if it affects next AP is another option.
