Career element

hello20

Please can some one help partner recieved pip an I care for my partner 35 hours a week I notified Uc was awarded career element .
but no back dated payment was recieved 
When I asked about back dated payment the response was 

The carers element is only paid from the assessment period it is verified in so it will not be back dated as you didn't inform us about the caring until feb so we will pay the carers element from feb

hello20

Is it correct they don’t back date an only pay from Assasemnt period it was notified in

Has PIP recently been awarded @hello20?

Hi,

I also note from previous threads that you were also receiving the LCWRA element until recently, is that correct? If so then the same person can't receive this element and the carers element at the same time. Who was claiming the LCWRA element and who is the carer? sorry but i'm not sure who is who here.

I get my lwrca partner claimed career she was found fit to work but has been caring for me past 3 months

When did her LCWRA stop @hello20? What date did you find out you were awarded PIP and what date did you report her being a carer to UC?

hello20
