Universal credit take home pay deducted)

[G4C389]

I get paid universal credit tomorrow and today received a letter that £177 was deducted because it says I had £383 take-home pay. I work as a steward at a football ground and I have only received £40-80 off that in the month 7th April to 6th may stated on the letter it applies, (it said nothing about the work I do as I havnt declared itt) just can't see where they're getting £383 from, what can I do? Any advice appreciated

How long have you been on UC?

 

Also if that's the case then you need to speak to UC...

I work as a casual worker at the football match (no work at moment obviously)

 

 

in mid May I got a letter saying my take home pay was X amount and on the letter dated 8th may

it said I'm allowed to earn £111 then 0.65p off every pound is taken off after that (fair enough)

 

 

it was for the period of worked between 7th April and 8th may,

but I read the £111 allowance is no longer valid from April 2016 and so why did it not affect me then?

 

 

And this month if earned but not since the 15th may then the 20th may

(which I explained to them in the phone was to all be paid for bills)

 

 

so tomorrow when i get paid will it not be the £111 allowance that affects it?

 

 

I'm confused

 

Thanks in advance for help

Can you confirm which benefit you're referring to? It sounds like Housing Benefit (or perhaps Univeral Credit, I'm not sure of the rules there) but best to be sure.

Yea it's universal credit (the work is a steward job at the football ground, so it's not even 16 hours a month)

Yes it's universal credit, will the £111 allowance not apply here? I havnt received anything since 20th may

Correct... I had this conversation with then the other day... They removed the allowance in April

With my last letter saying from the 7th April to 8th may for my mid May Payment, will this go from the 9th of May onwards? And Iv had no work pay since mid May so I'll get like £40 to last me a month? Lol

[G4C389]

I gif my payment today which was £36 (because I work as a football steward in the season which ended May 8th for me, and I received £237 which £178 was to pay rent/Bills etc, and now Iv only £36 to last me month with no work with the football being finished till August) most of my payment was taken off me as a result, I have rent and interview for job coming up and £36 isn't going to last me till July 13th, my last payment from the football work was 22nd may (but as I said £178 of £237 of it was bills/rent) if I call up would I be able to get a loan? Also as I said my interview next week will be tough to support as a result. Any advice appreciated thanks
