Good evening I won my tribunal 26th feb 2025

It's been 8 weeks and uc housing have cleared my debt finally!!!!! & have said its with the debt collectors now this was 2 weeks ago!! they also deducted my benefits over a year to pay back the debt i owed! which should of never happend as it was still going trough tribunal!! the judge sided with my case as they had no grounds to stop my housing and ordered them to give me back my rent and also the payments from my benefits they have been taking for two years to pay the debt back +! Would anyone know how much longer to get my landlord backdated RENT and also my benefit they have decucted from me??

my landlord hasn't got hes rent just under 2 years!! Very worrying times 2 years of stress worry anxiety

    Sorry to hear they're dragging their heels with the backpay @sara1988 unfortunately it can take a few months for the money to be paid, as they need to calculate everything first. I'd say as it's already been 8 weeks, it may be best contacting them to see why there's a hold up.
