Does anyone know when the court case about the £20 uplift is going to be heard?

Just wondering if anyone knows when the court case is going to be heard about them possibly offering the £20 universal credit uplift to legacy benefits claimants too? Only i kept seeing July and obviously we are nearing the end if that now so wondering if anyone has any idea whats happening if anything? Thanks in advance ??☀️?

All I have read online is end of July too. Not sure if it’s scheduled for then still or been changed.

All info seems to be from months/weeks ago then nothing said about it since?

MarkM88

Not that I can find no. Probably a waiting game as to whether it happens and when.

I’m not sure if there’s a way to check when court cases are to be heard.

There are backlogs though so I’m guessing this is impacting all types of cases and courts?

Hmmm maybe it will be done over a few dates? Gawd knows!

Good point @MarkN88 probably been held up! Im sure many people are on the case! ??

I'm afraid court case or not that the £20 for legacy benefits is a ship that has sailed.

There are still people hoping the case will go in their favour though because they are hoping they will get it backdated even though the uplift is supposed to becoming to an end.

Judicial Review challenge to the failure to uplift legacy benefits will take place. It is listed for a final hearing on 28-29 September 2021.

Yes I read that on another site it had been pushed back to end of September.

I don't think DWP is in any hurry to let this happen. Even if the legacy benefits did get this £20 back dated you probably wont see it until next summer. Look how they dragged out the ESA underpayment debacle?
