Depending on the ammount of backdated payment a senior manager might have to sign off on it

Probably around £3000+

Until you receive the decision letter from DWP nothing is certain. The call centre operatives are trained just to get you off the phone asap but it does sound hopefull. You might receive a call asking whether you have been abroad, in hospital or prison recently, this is just to check that you are entitled to the full amount

Surely though stating that their calls are recorded etc they cant give you false information0

Did you get the name of the phone jockey that told you this ?As I said it sounds hopeful but no one can give you a definative answer on a forum such as this0

I best off trying to get it confirmed on Tuesday0

My own experience it was a good job I called DWP after winning my tribunal. I had waited 6 weeks and other than receiving a normal payment I had heard nothing about back pay. I rang and they paid it within 2 hours I also queried the amount they had calculated was £1400 less than my calculation. When they did a check of this my calculation was correct they said it was a system error. So had I not called I would have been paid the incorrect amount and would have waited longer for payment0

It seems like the system is on its knees at the moment, been waiting for a MR but this time they are taking their time, I see in Jan 18,930 new claims were put in for PIP then 10,480 people asked for a MR, only 2730 had theirs changed, figures don't say which way, If they sorted this out and made the correct decision in the first place it could save a lot of time and money.0

I dont need a MR I have already won claim at a tribunal0

Username_removed said:People have been asking for it to be “sorted out” since 1948. The success rate of MR is well known. It currently stands at 19%.
Personally the National Assistance Act of 1948 had a lot going for it and it certainly targeted money to those in most need unlike today with millionaires being able to claim CB ESA, CB JSA as well as PIP & AA!!!!

Poor Laws did "work very well" - as long as you weren't poor when you would be in the workhouse, sleeping in a dormitory, fed slops and expected to work every day for nothing.
I think that the consensus is that the modern welfare system - with all of it's faults - is an improvement..

Username_removed said:I’m sorry! Was that a parody post? The Poor Laws “worked quite well” and the NA48 “had a lot going for it”. Seriously? Benefit take-up remains lowest amongst older people precisely because of the stigma of means-testing introduced by NA48. I can’t be bothered responding to the rest. It has to be a spoof surely!
The stigma as you quite rightly point out is still with us even after 1966 when the NA was abolished. Are you suggesting that only those born after 1945 are affected? To equate the NA Act for the reason that today's old people refuse to claim benefits is wrong. For someone to have had to claim NA they would have to have been born between 1927 and 1945. That would put the youngest today at 74 and the oldest 92. So those younger than 73 shouldn't have this issue given that they would only be 21 when NA ceased.
Means testing is still with us today so nothing has changed. Under NA only those that were in need received help with one proviso, people had to take responsibility for themselves with claiming this benefit something of last resort. Today claiming seems to be the norm - an expectation.
Stigma? Yes it should be. When I was growing up it was shameful for a man not to be able to maintain his family without recourse to public funds. In fact I believe that it is still a criminal act for not maintaining a man's wife and children when living together as one unit. It was also a criminal act for the eldest son not to financially support his widowed mother.
Men seem to have lost their sense of responsibility and pride.
