So we got an email with how much UC we getting this month and it's not even enough to pay our rent and bills, let alone money for food and living off!
Basically they have counted my last months salarly from the job I left due to my breakdown against this months payments even though it was last month not this month so we have nothing
Gonna have to use up what's left of our savings just to feed ourselves this month
Plus we have a new baby due in 2 weeks!
And I cant call UC to ask for help or an explanation today cos it's closed the helpline for the Queen's funeral!
Ugh, that sounds beyond frustrating! It's like they're not even considering the timing of your previous job's salary. Dealing with UC can be such a headache, especially when you're expecting a baby in just two weeks. It's so unfair that you're left in this situation, especially with rent, bills, and food on the line. And of course, they close the helpline right when you need answers the most. Anyway, you can use the services of Credit Hub Capital and get financial assistance. Sometimes, taking a loan can be the only option in such a situation.
The reality is that genuine claimants suffer, while the Cute ones roll in it.
With universal credit you have to know the financial rules inside out. You need to keep track of the dates they use to calculate your earnings to know how much they will pay in any particular month so the amount they pay (if any) will not be an unpleasant surprise.
Hi Billy, I hope you're ok. Try not to panic and remember that it will be ok. Hopefully tomorrow when you call they can help you once you've explained what has happened. A similar thing happened with my ex and they did extra to make up for it.
Congrats to you and your family on the little one. That's lovely xx
