I’ve recently went from a joint claim to a single claim and my statement doesn’t show my housing costs or child element, will I get these once verified again as an extra payment? As all it shows the now is standard allowance without the 411 work allowance so it leaves me with nothing this month as was all taken off due to my pay but usually get the 411 work allowance

Yes once it's all been verified they'll backdate anything you are owed, though it might come with your next payment rather than as a separate payment.

They'll also recalculate this month's payment and issue a revised statement, and pay anything you lost due to no work allowance being applied.

Perfect more worried about the housing costs didn’t know it had to be re verified and doesn’t give me the option for an advance and my wages isn’t enough to cover everything
