I'm owed EDP from 2011 but the amount she told me i'm getting is no where the amount im owed which has peed me off a bit.0

EDP this year is £16.40 per week, less in previous years. If you think it's wrong then ring ESA.

I was informed that they only backpack 1 month. I am trying to claim EDP from May 2018 but told to claim UC.
Now on my 4th hour of phone calls and form filling online . On hold now for 35 minutes to UC.

Hi,This is not the correct thing to do because the premiums aren't paid on Universal credit. What you should have done is ask for a supersession and this is the only way you'll be able to claim the Income related top up. By claiming UC then any other means tested benefits you claim will transfer to UC... housing benefit, tax credits etc. Has your claim for UC been successful or have you only just applied? If you've only just applied then you maybe able to cancel the claim.See this link on how to ask for a supersession. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/benefits-introduction/problems-with-benefits-and-tax-credits/challenging-a-benefit-decision/challenging-a-dwp-benefit-decision-on-or-after-28-october-2013/changing-a-benefit-decision-by-revision-and-supersession/changing-a-dwp-benefit-decision-by-supersession/
