    Because that is just the standard template letter it doesn't reflect reality 

    Your previous payments will need recalculated back to when you were eligible and this can take time and depends on workload and backlogs 
    Thank you 
    Thank you! I will hold off from messaging them as I'm sure they're probably already receiving an insane amount of calls / messages and ill wait it out a couple weeks
    If you could let me know when u have heard anything then I would know a rough timescale of how long I have to wait thank you 
    No problem, I'll post a response to you once I know! 
    Thank you 
    I put a message in my journal Friday and they contacted me today about whether I wanted full payment or installments and they are going to make the payment in 3 - 5 working days!

    I never heard anything about my backdated payments. I think it was day nine so i put a note on my journal to ask about the second letter. I then got a phone call to tell me that they were sending me over £4,000 which is now being used to adapt my home to make it safer for me
