hi just a quick query, i done the online places for people universal credit calculator and its saying my base award and child support come to a total of £265 per month (£61 per week) thats with my salary of £1302 (40hr week) and my partners salary £6120 (18hrs week) total inc £21744. we currently recieve £340 in child tax credit every 4 weeks (£85 a week) thats based on the same income figures as above. so by the looks of this we will be £24 a week worse off just over £100 a month we are set to lose when we get switched to universal credit!!! should i start cutting back now or is this possible a mistake in the calculator? i was under the impression that people would be better off under the new system? any advice appreciated cheers
