    You'll be paid backdated money up until the day or the day before you started a new claim. It can take as long as 8 weeks to receive any money owed, 2 weeks really isn't that long at all.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Looking back at your past threads, i see your Tribunal was only on 18th November. As i advised, it can take 8 weeks.

    Hi poppy thanks for replying yes I agree only been a month so probably be another month before I see a penny. 
    So am I correct in saying I will get £145 x 11 as it was 11 weeks between February 07th to May 1st.
