Has anyone had a problem with backpay from uc my son went from mrc to higher by Mr from 21/04/24 to 2032 there's a 300 pound a month difference in disabled child element but for some reason they've gave me 900 pound from March last year until September 2024 it's updated the extra 300 a month on my journal I don't know what's happening x

Call them asap

I've tried there just being rude af

Sc date 23/1 just rang they said is now with a decision maker and has been since Friday 16th

Renewal update
scan date 4/3
renewal date 12/7
date they sent the letter 13/5
Totally shocked to just open a letter to say my son will be awarded the same rate for another 2 years, so it’s taken 10 weeks for my renewal

Can someone take a look at this and is it me thinking they've worked it out wrong at 900 pound

Wow that's amazing congratulations i can't believe how quick that's taken!! Quite alot of us june renewals waiting and still not with a dm! Was this your first renewal?
Congratulations again!!!!

Recieved a text to say form Recieved this morning, does that mean today is my scan date?
NC rang for forms on 14/4
SD 19/5 or 16/5 (when signed for delivery)
Text says within 25 weeks

Do you get transitional protection as part of your claim? You usually get that if you moved from Tax Credits or maybe some others too. Any back pay is taken pound for pound from the transitional protection. For example, if you have £300 a month transitional protection and your back pay is £200, you won't receive any back pay at all and your transitional protection will reduce to £100.

Yes!
Would save so much stress and ringing them :-/

No I've been on uc for 3 years x

I've never been on anything but uc z

20/01 awarded HRC for two years on the 14th. Was told no decision made on the 15th when I rang to see if I had time for extra evidence. Just goes to show it definitely depends who you speak to

Thank you, yes this was my first renewal, I’ve been watching on here so I thought I would have another 7-8 weeks to wait, I even sent more evidence last week so that wouldn’t have been scanned on before they made the decision. Happy to have the same award ☺️

NC
SD: 05/02/25

I just rang to check and we are still "very much in a queue". The lady was very nice but couldn't give any more information.

Hi 1st renewal here.
Ends 24th May, this Friday. Just phoned and it’s still not been looked at !
Why do we have to send it 5 months in advance ?! Scan date 5th Jan!
she told me to ring Wednesday.
Those who have been not been told decision over the phone was it bad news ?
My son currently gets HRC LRM

So I requested coc form 30th April, posted special delivery 15th they recieved 16th... so how long do they take to scan?
And IF they change award do the go from the date stamp on form or the day they scan?
