Hello again.
For any of you who know me i have been battling with DWP and PIP for a friend of mine and i have also had to deal with my own claim as well,
After a assessment for The Disability component of the UNIVERSAL CREDIT benefit i received many letters.
The reason for my question is the latest letter i received.
I will provide an image instead of typing it all out to you.
But basically , after i was awarded the sick component of UC i was then told i would be backdated.
And last week i received i received a letter stating that they owe me £1008 but then it goes on to say that we have taken this amount from the money you owe us.
Then it states,
This means that the balance outstanding is now £725
We now owe you and we will pay you this money as soon as we can.
We have not offset this money from the Social fund or the UC advance debts , the recovery for these benefits will continue from your benefit.
So im stumped.
Do i get a payment of £725 or do i still owe £725.
Its the way the letter explains it that has got me confused.
Could somebody Please have a look at the letter (Details Removed for security) and explain to me my position. Because i cant make out if im being awarded £725 or being told i still owe £725.
Thank you all Again.
Melissa.
