Hi again  

Dec to Jan,  Jan to Feb and Feb to Mar would be waiting period so first payment would  be April 

So depending on when you get a decision  you should get arrears payment for the months April onwards

thank you very much 4 your help,isit true that they take any money owing to them,i got a budgeting advance so would they take any out standing money for that?

They try and take outstanding money and it would help you to get it paid and give you more money each month 

If you have a payment plan already in place you could try and dispute paying it out of your arrears 

You need to wait for a decision first before any of this applies

I don’t think a budgeting advance will be taken back from any arrears.
