Universal credit

Hi mummas, need some advice. I get £652 a month from universal credit that’s with my allowance and baby’s allowance. This barely stretches for the month with bills and expenditure. Is there something I don’t know?!! Should I be getting more ?

Have you applied for child benefit too? It’s another £25 a week (I know that’s not much for every little helps)

You'll be able to get the healthy start card too if you have not already

I get £7 a week 🤷🏼‍♀️

i don’t get anything form uc all i get is 740 a month from my employer and uc don’t help me whatsoever

Do they cover your housing benefit too? If so £652 to spend without including rent is more than what most working people have to live on. You should also be getting discounted council tax and vouchers for healthy foods.

They stop my maternity pay already, after 8months

That sounds right
