Hi 👋
Im soo sorry this is going to be a very long winded post but I'm just trying to get some help and understanding about limited work capability.
My partner was always on esa but when we got together we got put on universal credit which then he was on limited work capability he was due an assessment in 2020 but because of covid they didn't do assessment and they dropped the payment down to £143 until he had an assessment we finally got an assessment in 2024 which even though we provided medical evidence that he has stage 1 deteteriation in his bones and modic change in his spine (he had plates put in his back but his bones are crumbling they can't operate because there's nothing to attach) they refused his claim and told him he's fit for work they kept sending us appointments etc which he really struggled to get to. so we went back to the doctors and they put him on sick again so we had an assessment again and now they have awarded it to him the they said we have been awarded from 17th January 2025 but we still haven't had it added on or know what's going on so if anyone could help as to when payments start etc because the people on the phone are frying my brain and I don't understand 😭 thankyou for reading any help would be amazing 😊
