The $actualValue held in the entity is a valid float/double but the value held in the $orgValue is a string.

Causes this assertion to fail in UnitOfWork on line 668:

                // skip if value haven't changed
                if ($orgValue === $actualValue) {
                    continue;
                }

Here's the field referenced in the entity:

/**
     * @var float
     * @ORM\Column(type="decimal", scale=2, precision=16, options={"default"=0})
     * @JMS\Type("double")
     * @JMS\Expose()
     */
    protected $totalDisposableIncome = 0.00;

The Database is PostgreSQL 9.6.

@curiosity26 float and decimal are different types for storages and DBAL. If you want to have a float and deal with floating-point precision you should use @ORM\Column(type="float", ...).

Closing as invalid since it's a usage/mapping issue.
