Hi all dear friends. I need information about carer element.
My wife been awarded 15may and I inform UC so they add carer element in my this month statement but it's not backdated. Please guide me how I can get backdated carer element as my wife awarded pip from October 2024. Regards

Hi @dil786 there is potential to have up to 3 months backdated carers allowance on the condition you've met the requirements within that period. You'll need to contact DWP to request this. 🙂

Hi,
The first thing to do is simply to put a message on your journal asking for it to be backdated.
If they refuse then you can appeal through Mandatory Reconsideration.
