Hi there,
 Just wondering if anyone could give me some advice. I’ve been claiming uc since 21st august 2020 and when I started my claim I was asked why I was claiming etc and it was because I had to leave my job due to my health. I told them my conditions and was told I would need to have a health assessment, I then rang up a few times in November,December and was told to wait for my assessment and to keep sick notes, Then in February I rang again and found out the woman who took started my claim said I was fit for work even though I explained I wasn’t and left my job due to health then I was told to wait for health assessment to contact me this never happened again then I contacted them later that month and got told I need to provide sick note over the phone which I did and my sick note was from the 21st the start of my claim I have all the sick notes to cover no breaks. I’ve finally had my assessment September 2021 and been put in the lcwra group and they are saying I first provided sick note in March 2021 but I was getting told to wait for months after a mistake on my claim is it possible to get it from backdated before they got the evidence as I wasn’t being asked for it and being told to wait? My uc is a phone claim I’ve had the decision letter last week rang today and they don’t have any information about a decision being made yet 

 Thanks Jack
