Hi diceman24,
You will find the UC payment amounts in the link here .....
www.gov.uk/government/publications/benef...n-rates-2024-to-2025
I calculate the two elements that you mention of your UC payment to be LCWRA of £416.19 and standard allowance of £393.45. This adds up to be £809.64

Hi diceman24,
That doesn't seem correct to me. I would phone the Universal Credit helpline tomorrow and ask for an explanation or if there is a long queue, send a UC journal message to the Case Manager. To do this after typing the message you choose " payments " from the drop down menu.
You could also enquire if you are eligible for an advance payment of Universal Credit.
Hope this helps,
David

Your rent will be paid out of the housing component of UC so will be on top of your standard and LCWRA elements which you will continue to receive.
As you are living in a housing association property, in theory they should allow the entire rent in their calcuation.
