Hi,
Any money owed is usually paid separately to your usual monthly money.First they have to recalculate your past statements to work out exactly how much they owe you. Once this is done the new statements will replace your current ones. Then you’ll receive a letter onto your journal telling you how much they owe you and it will then be paid into your bank.It often takes them a few weeks to do this.When it’s paid from will depend when you reported your health condition and the dates of your assessment periods.0
