Universal Credit: Surplus earnings rules could affect your payment – check now

Surplus earnings can decrease if overall earnings fall below the amount where a payment stopped again.

Once a surplus is eradicated, Britons will be able to receive a Universal Credit payment from the DWP once again.

However, claimants will be required to reclaim Universal Credit each month until earnings reduce enough to get another payment.

If one’s circumstances are confusing when it comes to surplus earnings, claimants are encouraged to reach out to their work coach.

The details should be contained within an individual’s online journal, which clearly maps out when the surplus reduces.
