Official rule

GOV.UK says Universal Credit is paid once a month after the first payment, on the same date each month; if the date is a weekend or bank holiday, payment is made on the working day before.

Limitation: this tool does not know your assessment period, award amount, deductions, Scottish twice-monthly arrangements, or any change made by DWP. Use your online account and statement as the final answer.
