UC amendment mid claim

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help. My eldest Daughter moved out of my home & I updated UC.

They’ve sent through details of my next due payment, but there is zero mention of the daughter living with me part way through the month.

is this right?

Yes.

If you inform UC of a change during an Assessment Period that change is applied for the whole of it. For example if your AP ends tomorrow and you tell them today about your newborn baby you'll get a Child Element of £292.81 added and paid next Friday.

It's one of the 'thick red lines' intended to keep UC straightforward.
