Hi and welcome,.Yes, i read that too but all is not quite as it seems, just like a lot of reports you read in a newspaper. Not everyone will recieve the extra money and alot of people have already received the money that's owed. As you are one of those that's already received it then there's no further extra money you can claim.There was also the extra standard allowance that was given because of Covid19 which remains in place until April 2021. Sadly those that are still claiming legacy benefit missed out on that much needed extra money.1

I thought I read a news article about dwp losing another high court battle saying the 120 must be raised as we still are getting less benefits than on esa and sdp? And we would receive a further 60 per month0

Not to my knowledge there hasn't been.

Hi poppy I'm on sea premium and high mobility and middle care I had to leave my previous home due to harassment. The 2bed house I'm in it's way to big the landlord wouldn't except PEOPLE on benefits so my freind ( carer ) put it in for him its £550 a month . But bad news is the housing stopped my rent saying theyve had a call of the landlord stating he was my boyfriend and living with me. She caused so much between his wife and me and they believed it they didn't come investigate they just stopped my rent of £330 month now I'm having to pay all the £550out of my benefits and I only live in one bedroom upstairs. My friend as been helping me but as said is wife is getting really annoyed. Sometimes I just think instead of making everyone's life miserable just end it. Housing benefit have LITERALLY put me down in the pits with debt and I cant find way out . Do you have any advice please I'm really DONE with all this benefits system stinks.
Kind regards

FallenangelHI and welcome,Sorry but i don't quite understand what you're trying to say so can you please confiem something. Are you saying that the house that you live in the tenancy agreement is in your friends name and not yours? If so then who's name was the housing benefit in? Yours or your friends?0 -
Is it being backdated or are they just paying it starting from next month ?0

I had it backdated from when I was forced onto uc and left the St my sdp it was 3 years worth of £1201

Sorry lost the sdp payment0

I'm not even sure why they even wrote this story because thousands have already received everything they are owed. Typical newspaper story!

This is the UC/SDP legislation that came into affect in January 2019. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2019/10/made

I think the article states that the 120 will be paid as part of your uc as at the moment its a separate manual payment each morning nth via a different department so from now on it will be in the uc payment page0

To be honest, i wouldn't trust a newspaper artical because usually they only print half the story.

Thanks for that Mike, my thoughts exactly.
