    im claiming UC from this weekend i got it extended due to problems with housing giving me 3 lots of wrong rent information (which is still not sorted officially but finally got an email to breakdown what is rent and what is service charge but doesnt say WHAT categories etc)

    I managed to ring them today with citizen advice to ask how progress is as migration to UC starts next friday - the man on phone seemed very moody and depressed overall and muttered a lot but he must of seen some my letter as he mentioned how it was on my file about my mum used to have carer allowance but died may 2018 and then muttered something again none of us could understand but then said "hmm. payment not released. ok so you migrate when again first week of may?.. right i will send a message to try and see if they can release the payment for you before then so you can then put it in your UC claim about disregarded capital but obviously i cant promise if they will and cant see any information about any amounts just that its on hold as not released but says they looked at your reconsideration over a month ago so not sure why you not been contacted"

    so i guess that's a positive? - citizen advice said i "should" get 100% of backpay all the way to may 2018

    It definitely sounds positive. 🤞

    I think they check with DWP Debt Management before releasing back-dated funds to make sure you're not repaying any previous overpayments etc.

    If you are paying back an overpayment i.e. you are in debt to DWP, I'm sure they reduce the back-dated funds by whatever you owe them.
