UC Journal question

UC Journal question was created by Anneb
In the Universal Credit Journal under which heading would a person request Alternative Payment Arrangements for payments to be made to landlord for rent and to claimant for UC payments twice a month ? I would guess the section ‘Payments’ but from looking at the copy form posted in the ESA to UC Migration guide there seem to be a fair number of headings !

Hi Anneb,

I would definitely choose the option A Payment unless you would look forward to a trip to the Jobcentre for a personal explanation from a Work Coach. ( If so choose Message to Work Coach).

Hello David and thank you Anneb for your post.

I too intend to ask for the UC payments to be paid to me twice a month ( not to my landlord as when first moved in they said they did not want to received housing benefit but the full rent direct from me).

When the time comes, as I have not done the migration yet, do I understand that it is best to on our journal, select option A Payment rather than another option, this to avoid the work coach asking me to pop in to the job centre to explain why I need the UC Payment.

Thank you also for in answer to a previous post of mine, for posting the very helpful leaflet when considering asking for the UC payment twice a month.

Thank you.
Best wishes to all.
