Hi everyone,i phoned up DWP this morning to enquire about the money i'm owed,the lady told me that i will be getting a payment in my account on Thursday which is my pay day,she told me the amount i will be getting & it's not as much as what i thought,my question is do they pay the whole amount i'm owed or is it done in stages?,thanks in advance.

I'm owed EDP from 2011 but the amount she told me i'm getting is no where the amount im owed which has peed me off a bit.

EDP this year is £16.40 per week, less in previous years. If you think it's wrong then ring ESA.

Hi,This is not the correct thing to do because the premiums aren't paid on Universal credit. What you should have done is ask for a supersession and this is the only way you'll be able to claim the Income related top up. By claiming UC then any other means tested benefits you claim will transfer to UC... housing benefit, tax credits etc. Has your claim for UC been successful or have you only just applied? If you've only just applied then you maybe able to cancel the claim.See this link on how to ask for a supersession. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/benefits-introduction/problems-with-benefits-and-tax-credits/challenging-a-benefit-decision/challenging-a-dwp-benefit-decision-on-or-after-28-october-2013/changing-a-benefit-decision-by-revision-and-supersession/changing-a-dwp-benefit-decision-by-supersession/
