    I'm confused by your post.

    UC don't pay any disability premiums, so this EDP payment shouldn't have been from them. It should have been from your legacy benefit.

    Are you absolutely sure this wasn't about SDP?

    EDP is paid automatically and it's usually SDP people have to chase, claim & submit a backdate request.

    Any retrospective claim for SDP would need to be done via your legacy benefit. Any award should then see your UC claim updated.

    Perhaps a trained benefits advisor with sight of your paperwork can help.
