If your Universal Credit is stopped or reduced

If the amount of Universal Credit you get changes, you’ll either get a letter or a message when you log into your Universal Credit online account. If you have an online account, you can also sign up for text or email alerts.

Your Universal Credit might be reduced if:

  • you’ve reported a change of circumstances that means you’ll get less – for example, you’ve moved home or you’re paying back an advance payment, hardship payment or budgeting advance
  • you’ve been sanctioned – find out what to do if you’ve been sanctioned
  • you’ve earned more from work – find out how working affects Universal Credit
