edited December 2024 in Universal Credit (UC)

Good afternoon, I've been awarded this benefit as I have two different types of lung disease, I will leave the entire letter down below for reference but essentially I wanted to know if I'm reading it correctly as I have learning issue's essentially I'm assuming my statements have all been updated and have been paid my statements have changed and the monthly payments for each month has gone up (payments I've already received)

The second part of the conversation shows that 5 thousand pounds is still payable to me and says it'll be paid into my bank account this is the only part I'm really asking about so looking below does this look correct and have I read it correctly I'm assuming this 5grand is my 11months worth of back pay no breaks in sick notes, if this the case when would I expect to receive this?

    Yes, they owe you £5,016.21 which will be paid into your bank. If it's paid by BACS payment then it will take 3-5 working days to go into your bank from the date payment is sent.

    Thankyou so much poppy for helping me clear that up, I did ask this on my uc j.. but they are extremely slow to answer me back I'm not too sure how their making or the payment to my Halifax account or when they have issued it but I'm guessing anywhere from now up to a few of days time it's unfortunate they don't give it to us a little more simply with an actual date of the payment or at least when it'll be issued by

    Would anyone have a rough idea on how long this would take from the dates above would I need to still wait for the three month period?

    You don't need to wait for 3 months. I can't tell you how long it will take for them to actually send the payment. All I can tell you is how long it takes to go into your bank once payment is made.. 3-5 working days.
