Did you know that there are 53 Mondays in 2024? Does it really matter? It could for some Universal Credit recipients who will need to pay an extra week's rent.
There are 52 weeks in a year, everybody knows that. Right? Wrong. There are actually 52.14 weeks in a year; 52 weeks and one day. Unless of course it is a leap year, like 2024, when the extra day means there are 52.28 weeks in a year.
So in this financial year, there will be 53 Mondays. This means that for some people their monthly Universal Credit payments will not cover all their rent.
