Hi Sick&Tired
There appears to be a glitch here that is affecting a number of people. This is the first Annual Uprating following full Managed Migration.
The DWP has described its approach to the roll out of UC, including managed migration, as a ‘test and learn’ approach, whereby ongoing testing is carried out to identify problems as they arise so they can be fixed quickly and before larger numbers are affected.
So hopefully they will identify the problem speedily.
Let us know how you get on.

I received a reply which said it was caused by the updated ESA award, which makes no sense to me as the ESA amount they subtracted was less than it has been in previous months. I received a link in my journal to a letter telling me I'd been overpaid UC and could either do nothing and they'll take it back in monthly installments, or I could pay the full amount into their bank account.
Sick&Tired - you'll probably find, like me, that the wrong amount will go into your bank account and you'll have to pay it back. I've not been asked to send in bank statements.

Me too! Apologies I’ve just posted about this. Twice it’s happened to us now. Just as you think you know what’s happened, they tell you something completely different. I’m always writing on the journal, I’m trying make them as sick of me as I am of them 🤭
