    Hi @Leanne29. Thanks for reaching out to us.

    It sounds really positive that your husband was award work and actives accbelty yesterday. 

    However, it sounds really frustrating that the claim has been in since last July, you have only received £340 and they only adjust last month statement.

    Unfortunately, this is not an area of my expertise. This means I can only hope someone with more knowledge in this area will be able to respond to you soon.

    In the meantime, I just wanted to respond to thank you for finding the courage to reach out for support and let you know that we hear you and are here with you  :)

    Hi and welcome to the community 

    It takes a while for back pay to be calculated and old statements updated 

    Put a note in your journal marked payment query and explain that the date the medical condition was reported and you are expecting back pay from the 4th assessment period following this date 

    You do not get extra payment for the first 3 assessment periods
