Adapt universal credit to support people who are paid every 4 weeks.

4 weekly pay dates, such as retail workers, have 1 month where 2 pay dates are calculated into 1 universal credit assessment (UC). This affects everyone who has to deal with this as many of us live pay to pay and can’t afford to not get UC for that month. More so if we pay for childcare.

Change the universal credit assessment dates to support people on 4 weekly pay or offer support for people during the month where they are not supported. Not with food bank vouchers either - we need more stability, even more so during this cost of living crisis.
