in Universal Credit (UC)

does anyone know how long it usually takes universal credit to give you money that they owe you?

2 years I was sanctioned for. And after having a few polite words to some that knew what they where talking about & bam they owe me 2years worth of money..

the letter stating that they owed me money was dated on the 1st April 2025

    Backpay takes at least a few weeks to sort out, generally speaking.

    I thought I would be something like that.. is it normally 7-10 working days?
    If that’s the case then it will be sometime next week hopefully…

    Cheers for letting me know buddy 👍

    No my advice was a couple weeks at least, I think 7-10 working days might be a bit optimistic.
