    spoke to someone from uc today he said it’s only gone from June as that’s when my form went in and he said he could see no other evidence of sick notes before that,I’ve told him I’ve been off since last October and sent sick notes and had phone conversations with my work coach,what can I do now?

    Did you report the fit notes onto your journal? If you did then there will be a record of this on your journal.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Yes but I can’t see them all just a few comments saying we’ve accepted your fit note but not as far back as when I gave them although there is messages from me on there from last October saying I’m signed off sick

    If you reported them on there then there should be a record. Although i'm not sure how it accepted them without actually reporting your health condition as a change of circumstances first.

    Basically I was on universal credit working but a single parent,when I went off sick in October 2020 I wrote on my journal that I was off sick nobody told me to do anything else bar send sick notes I spoke to my work coach several times on the phone and she knows my health conditions but that’s all

    I should also point out that when you ring UC/DWP you're talking to someone from a call centre, not someone from DWP and often give people incorrect information. They have very little benefit knowledge and read from a screen.
    If you haven't already then put a message onto your journal under the payment section and tell them that you reported your first fit note in October 2020 and continued to do this until the decision was made. Also mention that your work coach did not advise you to report your health condition under "change of circumstances" and continued to assume that just reporting the fit notes was the correct thing to do.

    Nobody is getting back to me from uc I’ve read all my journal and I’ve said back in October and November 2020 that I’m sick and no sick pay so what will happen to my payments ect and nobody adviced me to change my circumstances or fill forms in or anything so surly this is there fault and not mine? Do you think it will be backdated or am I wasting my time

    To be clear, when you reported your fit notes did you actually click "report a fit note" or just type the details of it onto your journal?
     When one fit note is about to expire you will have reminders to provide another. When you report it onto your journal, it says "provide fit note completed"

    If you can see that you reported it in October and the work coach has acknowledged it thenI think you have a strong case that you should be treated as having reported your health condition at that time even though you didn’t do it the ‘correct’ way. The work coach should have advised you what to do and initiated the Work Capability Assessment referral.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    There are no timescales but as a guide between 2-12 weeks.

    Unfortunately it is just a waiting game and you’ll be in a queue of other people waiting to hear back. There is nothing you can do.
