HI,It will vary from person to person. I don't understand the logic in your question. I know you're waiting for a decision on the carers element but there's really nothing more you can do but wait.

thanks I’ve been waiting 3 week now hopefully should hear something this Monday
-
There's no timescales for any decision. I think i covered everything in your last thread about the carers element.
-
No worries

Sadly I've known people wait months for an answer on backdating carer element @Connor_Delaney77, so it won't be quick.
If you're owed a backdate it will be £162.92 for every month that you didn't receive the carer element when you were supposed to. -
This was my last 2 Payments what covers £9 then I realised why am I getting 9£ a month but was cos I didn’t report I was caring, so would them 2 for backdated plus the first carers element payment what’s coming next month

So would them 2 be considered backdated?

Potentially yes but as we have previously advised it's not easy to get the carers element backdated. I'm afraid all you can do is wait.

That's rather a low amount of UC, i'm assuming you are paying back an advance payment on top of the carers allowance deduction
-
Yes I am, they take 41 off me each month
