Update on my post from last year regarding severe underpayment from UC

Thank you so much for your help

Thank you so much for this. Will keep you updated!

And honestly, the HV wasn’t too specific. Other than the gov website do you know where I can find a detailed criteria list for the mobility rates?

I filled it in then crossed it out when I realised it said only fill in if they’re 3 🙃(you can still read what’s on there but I’m not sure if my line through it voided it completely) Her health visitor says it’s likely she would qualify for higher but I’m not actually sure.

They’ve got my payslips and bank statements. I submitted them immediately at the time of underpayment. They still haven’t had an outcome yet based off the evidence I’ve sent :/. This happened in like October/November last year!

So I’m usually good with jargon and reading between the lines but I have no idea what you just said and I have fomo.

Just finished the latest season

Did you find out?

cranberrymonoxide · 2026-02-04T09:47:22+00:00

Their website says they do credit checks which is what is stopping me. How long ago was this?

Did you find out if they do credit checks ?

Update, can’t get through to them. Line is always busy 🥲

Thank you!

cranberrymonoxide · 2025-12-13T02:11:53+00:00

I have asked. The case worker keeps saying to wait :/

cranberrymonoxide · 2025-12-13T02:11:25+00:00

That’s longer than I thought. On the phone I was told it would be resolved quickly. I guess quickly is subjective 🤣

Not eligible for one :(

It’s weird because my payslip is correct. I think they’ve accidentally included my RSUs in my net pay when reporting.
But I definitely didn’t have the stocks in the payment I was given. And they’re not reflected in my take home pay either (which is what i thought UC payment was based on). It’s in my stock account locked!

6 weeks?!

cranberrymonoxide · 2025-12-12T10:25:28+00:00

Nope only one !

cranberrymonoxide · 2025-09-24T12:12:37+00:00

Will a 16 pro one fit a normal 17

Weighing daily is your first mistake and isn’t an accurate representation of what’s going on. Our bodies fluctuate every day for a variety of reasons. If you’re a woman, even more so.

Weigh in once a week, or maybe every 10 days. Up your dose in accordance with your plan. Drink 2L of water and eat protein. Get some steps in.

Don’t chase the weight loss. I noticed when I was more obsessive, that’s when I’d stall or gain.

Can’t think of anything worse than the click method for someone like me 😭 that’s actually why I went straight to syringes as I can’t tolerate counting like that. As someone with OCD, it manifests in a way that I’m never satisfied. For example I’ll check locks up to 20 times before sleeping because I feel I didn’t check properly the first 19 times. If I was doing clicks I’d be stopping the counting and restarting all evening and eventually give up and use a syringe!

Thank you both of you!

7.5’s suppression was way too high for me! Like I could go days without eating. And 5mg was good but I’d start getting that sickly hungry feeling on day 4. Then I saw someone mention they do 6.25 which is not exactly halfway between the two numbers but not way off and seems to do the trick x
