UC overpayment

I work part time and get UC I get the same each month from both, this Month I checked my UC statement and it was more than normal I checked the statement and it said there was 0 deductions from my wages which is weird, so now I'm worried they're gonna pay me more then realised it was a mistake then ask for it back. Anyone had this before?

This happened to me. My work reported my earnings late so I got more UC. I didn’t really realise at the time and now i have it deducted each month🤦🏻‍♀️ wish I’d noticed at the time and just repaid it back. You can contact them and they’ll correct it for you☺️xx

Sorry- just to add to that I think if you don’t earn over a certain amount UC don’t deduct money from your earnings. I may be wrong but you can always phone them. They’re always helpful when I give them a call! Hope that helps xx

Do you get paid monthly or 4 weekly? It's likely your wages fell outside your assessment period. You'll probably get much less or no UC next month if you have double wages in next month's assessment period

@Laurie this happened to me last week! I got way less said I had earned £1700 in a month but I didn’t 🙈🤣 so my UC was so low x

@Danielle Are you paid monthly? If so it can be changed. If you're paid 4 weekly then there's nothing you can do

@Laurie 4 weekly hun xxx

@Laurie monthly

@Billie I always get some deducted from my UC, it's normally the same each month. I will have to ring them. Thank you!

@Danielle Unfortunately it happens to everyone who's paid 4 weekly, once a year

Incognito as you're monthly paid you can ask for one of your wages to be moved to the next period.

@Billie I have spoken to them and my earnings weren't reported in time, did they take much off you monthly to pay it back?x

It was about £46 they took from me and it was about £200 more than I was supposed to get xxx
