Spoke to someone again on Monday who did ask for a call. Was called on Wednesday and yesterday (exactly 7 days) I was awarded an interim backdated payment )£1,110 my claim is now upto date and following me sending and them receiving my daughters tenancy agreement (August 2021) they will be backdating that too!! I am absolutely shocked. After I read all of the upto date information and used that to argue my case it was actioned !! Thankyou finally some good news.
