Hi everyone. There is no support from what I can find on or with UC Or even a department that deals with LWRCA. So back story. I was migrated over to UC in September, Previously to that I was on income support with disabled element, Pip, Carrers allowance, Child tax, Child benefit and DLA for my daughter. When I was moved over my disabled element didn't go over with me I was put as a carrer and our money stripped. I got C.A involved and they told me I should have put in for LWCRA or even just be on it considering I am disabled both physically and mentally. So I did so and had problems with that because the forms caused for me to have a mental breakdown with it being determined as trauma coming out due to my financial instability (I have the proof) and am only really coming out of that now. I finally had a call in February who I was on the call for less than 5 minutes when the lady said she had heard all she needed to hear and recently been given the element. Now at the time I was awarded it I was on a change of number which in itself was hard enough and couldn't read the letter when i was awarded and still don't understand it. But the lady that called about my number has said its been backdated to 7 months ago but i won't be receiving any backdate that will come as time not money. I have now read it and it doesn't state any of that and I've been on a Misson to get what it owed to us. Considering we have had to move around so much fleeing my ex who I led 6 years ago and even sleep on the floor because I need a bed. I've been advised that I have to ask for it to be backdated (From 3 months after when I was oked which is 03/09/2024) and that also its up to them but yet the letter states that I will he backdated.
