The decision letter will tell you want date the backpay is paid up until. Then you count 4 weeks after that.

It says the 22nd February so does that mean it is repaid tomorrow? Is that correct?

You must have misread the letter - 22nd February doesn't make any sense in the context of your question.

The letter should say something like "we will pay you £xx which is arrears we owe you from AA to BB. Your first regular payment will be 4 weeks from BB.

The claim was paid from the 22nd February I got the back dated money on the 27th may,So does it mean I will get paid every 4 weeks from the 22nd February I just don't get it .

No, that's not what it means because you received the money that's owed on 27th May. What does it say in the letter about the money that's been paid, it will tell you it's paid from X date to Y date. It will be 4 weeks from the date it's paid up until. For example, if your money way paid up until 25th May then your next payment will be 22nd June. You will always receive your money on the same day each time.

Just says the money has been back dated from the 22nd February I got that in the bank on the 27th May,the woman on the phone said it will go from the 22nd February every four weeks as that's when the claim would of started as that's when its back dated from ,so confused I'm 76 years old I will just have to wait and see thankyou for help.

The person you spoke to will be someone from a call centre who will have no idea of payment cycles. It has nothing to do with when your claim first started.

skypink87

Ok so it not every 4 weeks from that first date it started, that's what they said ,I will relook at my letter thankyou

No, it depends on what date your backdated payment was paid up until.

In which case your next payment will be 27th June.
