Hi Sofvig26
I don’t have any answers to your question and hope that you’ve contacted your DWP advisor to confirm (and complain).
Its so unfair for them to do that.
Have you spoken to your university to see if there’s any additional financial support they can offer?
My DWP advisor suggested I do a degree full time and apply for a student loan inc maintenance loan and then apply for universal credits for July – October when I’m not studying. I private rent (£700 pm) and obviously being behind on any rent would jeopadise being able to stay in the property. Sometimes I feel the advisors are pushing Universal Credit to hit targets, and care zero about the implications of their actions and ‘advice’.
Maybe you could speak to Citizens Advice too? They are collecting information on unfair treatment of those on Universal Credits and I definitely think its unfair.
Good luck.
