Hi, My daughter (who is now 19) child benefit stopped as her course ended on 31st August. However the universal credit stopped for her from last UC date - 15th August (statement runs from 9th-8th). I have queried this with UC and they said they cannot pay partial payments. But as a single parent, it seems really unfair that this happens. If I had earned more that month, they would have changed amount, but not if your dates do not quite marry up. I know there is possibly not a lot I can do, but wondered if I could challenge it?
Please could you change your Forum user name for internet security reasons. Forum user names could be something such as Sunny or Misty. With Universal Credit it is the situation on the last day of the Assessment Period that dictates the payment calculation. It is unusual for a course to end on the 31 August. Could you please confirm this and also your daughter's birth date.
David
