birminghammail--2020-11-01--Thousands will see five big changes to Universal Credit in November - check now

Millions of people have turned to the Government for help from Universal Credit and other support schemes during the coronavirus pandemic .
Those who have lost their jobs , had their wages cut or were unable to work - including students whose part-time jobs ended during the 10pm hospitality curfews and Tier 3 bar closures - have applied for the new benefit .
Universal Credit was brought in to replace a series of social security payments including income-based Jobseeker ’ s Allowance ( JSA ) , income-related Employment and Support Allowance ( ESA ) and Income Support .
But payments @ @ @ @ @ @ @ during November .
See if you 'll be affected .
More than 85,000 Universal Credit claimants will see their payments rise this winter as the Department for Work and Pensions finally addresses an `` unfair '' loophole that 's cost people thousands of pounds .
Some workers are occasionally paid twice in the same month , usually because of a bank holiday altering their wage payments to a date before or after that .
Whatever side of the holiday , it can end up meaning two sets of wages arrive in one month @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get paid twice are flagged as 'over-earning ' on the DWP 's systems .
This means their following month 's payment is reduced - sometimes to zero - to reflect their higher income .
But in the majority of cases , they 're not over-earning at all .
Often , it 's because their employer paid them on the first or last working day or they received a late or early payment because of a bank holiday getting in the way .
From November 16 , claimants who get paid twice in a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ penalised in their following payment , the Mirror reported .
Extra sums of £120 , £285 or £405 are being added to a person 's regular Universal Credit payout , if they are eligible .
Legislation bringing about the change was signed on October 8 by Justin Tomlinson , a Minister of State at the DWP .
Many will have received the top-up last month , if they get their Universal Credit on or after that date .
But those whose Universal Credit is paid on a date before the eighth of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ instead .

A number of changes are coming to Universal Credit this month, the DWP has confirmed.
Millions of people have turned to the Government for help from Universal Credit and other support schemes during the coronavirus pandemic.
Those who have lost their jobs or are on a lower income because of furlough have applied for the new benefit.
Among those affected are many students whose part-time jobs ended during the 10pm curfews and lockdown closures.
But payments will end up changing in several ways during November. See if you'll be affected.

1. Minimum Income Floor suspension extended
At the start of the coronavirus pandemic, Chancellor Rishi Sunak had suspended the Minimum Income Floor, an assumed level of income used to assess how much Universal Credit a self-employed person will get.
And that suspension has now been extended until the end of April 2021
The Minimum Income Floor is based on what the DWP says an employed person would get paid in similar circumstances. It's calculated on working full time at 35 hours per week on the National Minimum Wage, minus estimated tax and National Insurance.
The problem has always been that the MIF is fixed despite self-employed income actually going up and down. Some months a person earns far less than the MIF but ends up receiving the same amount of UC.
The Institute of Fiscal Studies worked out that as many as 450,000 low-income households see their payments cut by an average of £3,200 a year thanks to this policy.
(Image: PA)
The Government dropped this rule during the pandemic so that self-employed people could receive Universal Credit based on their actual earnings.
This was due to expire on November 13 but has now been extended until the end of the financial year.
In a written statement, Therese Coffey, the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, announced: "After careful consideration of the ongoing public health situation and the national working environment, the current easement of the suspension of the Minimum Income Floor in Universal Credit that was due to expire on November 12 2020 will be extended to the end of April 2021.
"Regulations will be laid and made prior to November 12 2020."
2. Double earnings loophole closed
More than 85,000 Universal Credit claimants will see their payments rise this winter as the Department for Work and Pensions finally addresses an "unfair" loophole that's cost people thousands of pounds.
Some workers are occasionally paid twice in the same month, usually because of a bank holiday altering their wage payments to a date before or after that. Whatever side of the holiday, it can end up meaning two sets of wages arrive in one month.
Under current rules, workers who get paid twice within one month are flagged as 'over-earning' on the DWP's systems. This means their following month's payment is reduced - sometimes to zero - to reflect their higher income.
But in the majority of cases, they're not over-earning at all. Often, it's because their employer paid them on the first or last working day or they received a late or early payment because of a bank holiday getting in the way.
From November 16, claimants who get paid twice in a month by their employer will not be penalised in their following payment.
3. Transitional element up to £405 added
Extra sums of £120, £285 or £405 are being added to a person's regular Universal Credit payout, if they are eligible.
Legislation bringing about the change was signed on October 8 by Justin Tomlinson, a Minister of State at the DWP.
Many will have received the top-up last month, if they get their Universal Credit on or after that date.
But those whose Universal Credit is paid on a date before the eighth of the month will start getting it during November instead.
As BirminghamLive reported, the rise is designed to help thousands of people whose household income was slashed when they switched to Universal Credit from Income Support, Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA), Employment and Support Allowance (ESA), Housing Benefit or Pension Credit - if they were also receiving a top-up allowance called Severe Disability Premium (SDP).
When moved from those 'legacy benefits' on to Universal Credit they were horrified to find the amount they received was far lower.
The DWP agreed to give 'transitional payments' in an effort to make up the difference and these will now be incorporated into a person's regular Universal Credit payout - find out which payment you should be getting here.
4. Cold Weather Payment scheme begins
The temperature is already dropping considerably as we move towards winter and the Government says its Cold Weather Payment scheme has kicked in again on November 1.
Rules say you will get a payment if the average temperature in your area is recorded as (or forecast to be) zero degrees celsius or below over seven consecutive days.
You will get £25 for each seven day period of very cold weather between November 1 and March 31.
You may get Cold Weather Payments if you’re getting:
Pension Credit
Income Support
income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
income-related Employment and Support Allowance
Universal Credit
Support for Mortgage Interest
In the case of Universal Credit, you must NOT be employed or self-employed in order to qualify, and one of the following must also apply:
you have a health condition or disability and have limited capability for work (with or without work-related activity)
you have a child under five living with you
You will also be eligible if you have a disabled child amount in your claim, whether you are employed or not.
Some benefit recipients will also qualify for Winter Fuel Payment, an automatic amount of £150 to £300 paid into your account.
Those on Universal Credit may qualify for this payment.
Usually you do not need to claim Winter Fuel Payment - you get it automatically if you’re eligible.
But you will need to claim it if you have not had it before and any of the following apply:
you do not get benefits or a State Pension
you only get Universal Credit, Housing Benefit, Council Tax Reduction or Child Benefit
you get benefits or a State Pension but live in Switzerland or an EEA country
5. New chance to get PIP and big back payment
The DWP has begun a search for benefit claimants who could be owed up to £13,000 in back payments after a court ruling.
A landmark case means thousands more people now qualify for Personal Independence Payment or will receive it at a higher rate, because they were wrongly assessed.
This will include people on Universal Credit whose claim for PIP was turned down or who were awarded it at an incorrect rate. The two benefits can be paid to the same person without affecting each other.
Independent advice website Benefits and Work said the ruling "could mean potentially thousands more people are eligible for the daily living component of PIP or should be getting it at a higher rate.
"Some claimants will have missed out on awards of the standard daily living component since April 2016 and will be entitled to around £13,000 in back payments of PIP."
A DWP spokesperson told Birmingham Live it was "committed to making backdated payments for those eligible as soon as possible."
Claims for PIP that were disallowed before April 2016 - when the case first went to a social security tribunal - won't be reviewed and people can enquire about putting in a new claim. Those disallowed after that date are now being assessed to see if back payments are due.

After Patrick Bamford netted a hat-trick in a 3-0 win, Whites supporters hit back at Agbonlahor and the club tweeted a montage of his pre-match comments.
Villa slipped to back-to-back defeats on Sunday, losing 4-3 against Southampton despite a spirited second half showing.
The result prompted a number of Leeds fans to remind Agbonlahor of his previous comments. Here is a selection of their messages:
@AnonymousWedger: I want to tweet about #AVFC but I'm scared that @officialga11 will think he's got me "on strings" or that Villa are in my head "Rent Free".
@LewyPearce: It’s all good guys, Dean Smith is a better manager than Bielsa. The title challenge will be back on track next week.
@Hickster1972: Come on Saints @officialga11 another myth I suppose.
@Yorkshire77: Aston Villa seem a bit punch drunk #lufc #avfc. Wonder what excuses @officialga11 has...
@PaulMilner365: Villa are a myth! @officialga11 #lufc lol.
@Mikey1989: I guess Aston Villa's early season form was just a myth then aye?
@Rory_Steel: @officialga11 Villa falling apart again! Got schooled by Bielsa and now your getting schooled by Hasenhuttl.

birminghammail--2020-11-01--Brummies call for ban on fireworks after string of incidents across city

Brummies have called for fireworks to be banned from public use after a string of terrifying incidents across the West Midlands overnight .
Residents fear the explosives could prove 'lethal ' in the wrong hands after drivers , pedestrians and police cars were targeted on Halloween , October 31 .
Huge bangs ripped through the streets as yobs hurled the pyrotechnics into roads in several areas including Birmingham city centre , Smethwick , Kingstanding and Selly Oak .
The barrage of attacks have sparked fury with locals - who believe fireworks should only be used at organised events .
Jane @ @ @ @ @ @ @ banned .
It ’ s disgraceful on what is happening around Birmingham . ''
Heather Mulligan added : `` I think they should be banned from public use !
Only to be used at organised events , they are lethal in the wrong hands . ''
Frances Heath commented : `` It is time to ban fireworks .
They are dangerous in the wrong hands . ''
The jaw-dropping moment a gang of hooded thugs launched fireworks at a marked police car in Cape Hill was caught on camera .
The youths could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ West Midlands Police vehicle and passing motors in the dramatic video .
In the clip , handed over to us by imjustbrum , those involved can be heard saying 'do n't record me ' to officers inside one of the under-siege cars as they continue their attack .
A University of Birmingham student said he was targeted in a separate incident in Harrow Road , Selly Oak on the same night as a man in a white Audi shot a firework at him and his friends .
Bilal Sadaq recalled : `` Me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from UoB campus at about 3:15 in the morning .
A guy in a white Audi said 'alright ladies ' to the group of girls I was with .
`` One of my housemates thought that he was saying it to me , because I was in my other housemates dress for Halloween , but then we heard a bang , and a flash of yellow light .
`` Thankfully the firework missed and hit a van that was next to us .
I started screaming at the car and chased after it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the girls told me to stop in case the guy in the car decided to take another pop at us .
`` The car turned onto Croydon Road and by the time we got there we heard another bang . ''
Fortunately , they were n't injured - but the student feared the driver was out targeting other groups of women in the streets .
Another resident added that cars had been struck by fireworks and passersby had been 'targeted ' overnight in Kingstanding too .
Elsewhere , in the heart of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ youths dressed all in black were filmed blasting the explosives they ran through the streets .
Concerned residents at Allegro Living apartments raised the alarm with the police twice amid fears innocent pedestrians or drivers would be hurt .
A resident , who did not wish to be named , said : `` I could see fireworks were being thrown at traffic and where passers-by were walking and was really concerned someone would get hurt .
`` I was considering phoning for an ambulance too as I was so sure someone would be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ twice because they hadn ’ t come after half an hour , and the responder said they were dealing with a number of similar incidents in the area . ''
The youths - one wearing a bunny mask over his face - also sparked terror with locals in Masshouse apartments as they ran around shouting and shooting off fireworks at 'head height ' .
A stunned resident at the block of flats witnessed the thugs throwing the fireworks at one another near to Aston University as he looked out from his balcony .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ just having dinner and heard a loud noise outside , I ran onto the balcony to see what was happening .
`` There was probably eight or more people running , dressed all in black , one of them had a bunny mask .

`` They literally ran round there firing fireworks at head height , exploding on the street as they ran up past Aston University .

birminghammail--2020-11-01--Preston striker Stockley says Birmingham City moment 'scared' him

Jayden Stockley believes Preston North End deserved a draw against Birmingham City - and admits he feared his wonder goal might have been ruled out .
Blues made the perfect start at Deepdale when Riley McGree marked his full debut with a goal , firing home following Lukas Jutkiewicz 's attempt at an overhead kick .
Stockley drew the hosts level on 24 minutes when he dropped a stunning half-volley into the top corner from all of 30 yards .
It was Preston 's first goal on home soil this season but Stockley was half-expecting to hear the referee 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with Blues midfielder Ivan Sunjic .
Speaking after Gary Gardner snatched all three points for Aitor Karanka 's side late on , the striker told the Lancashire Post : “ I ’ ve done a couple of those in training and missed by about 40 yards but I do back myself in those situations .
“ This one fell too nicely not to hit and I was delighted to see it go in .
I was just scared that the referee was going to blow for a foul because their guy fell down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wasn ’ t a foul but I was praying the referee wasn ’ t going to put the whistle to his mouth .
“ With the shot I didn ’ t even feel it hit my foot .
It just flew , wobbled a bit and ended up in the top corner .
It is one I will always remember but when you do score you hope it will be part of a win which unfortunately this wasn ’ t .
“ In football you can get brought back down to earth quite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the goal didn ’ t count towards anything in the end.
” Gardner 's 85th-minute winner came just moments after he had been brought on to replace McGree .
The midfielder got onto the end of a teasing cross from Mikel San Jose to earn back-to-back wins for Blues , who are now just two points off the play-offs .
Stockley added : “ When it was 1-1 we had about half an hour when we were on top and had some chances .
That was the chance to take the initiative , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ couldn ’ t find the second goal .
“ The positive is that we created good chances but the negative is that we didn ’ t take them and lost .
“ Towards the end when we had people struggling after making our subs , maybe we had to settle in and made sure we walked away with a point .
“ Sometimes you have to have that mind set , a point would have got off us this run of defeats at home which we are desperate to end .
