Jneill2021 · 03/12/2021 09:26

@Alk19 do you no if the child element would be added on the next uc payment ? I'm not due payment till the 23rd, uc is so confusing to me lol xx

Alk19 · 03/12/2021 09:30

@Jneill2021 I told them on the 16th and my payment was due the 19th so I already missed my 'qualifying dates' so if your within your dates it should be in this payment but don't hold your breath xx

Jneill2021 · 03/12/2021 09:37

@Alk19 ok yeah I'm dreding dealing with uc as I don't even have a work coach, so them getting back to me just in general takes forever xx

Alk19 · 03/12/2021 09:45

@Jneill2021 I'm the same I don't have a work coach either adding the elements shouldn't be a problem it's the backdate that is but hopefully won't be for you make sure when you change your circumstances to put it in your journal you want it backdated to the start of your dla claim Xx

Jneill2021 · 03/12/2021 09:50

@Alk19 thank you, I called yesterday done the change of circumstances, I checked after all sorted coning up in receipt of hrc, I put a note on journal about the backdate but suppose be a long wait before anyone gets back to me lol xx

DeludedWench · 03/12/2021 11:17

Just rang and there is still no decision. Lady said as they are working on claims around that date, it can take anywhere from now until Sunday for the decision to be made.

Jneill2021 · 03/12/2021 11:44

Jneill2021 · 03/12/2021 11:45
