Hi,I'm afraid you won't be able to backdate your UC for 3 months. The most they will backdate it is 1 month but then it's only in the most extreme circumstances will they agree to do this.Before you claimed UC were you working or claiming a different benefit?Are you working and claiming UC or are you sending in fit/sick notes?Are you single or claiming as a couple?Sorry for the questions but without those answers no further advice can be given. If you don't like to give that information on a forum then you'll need to speak to an advice agency near you for a full benefits check.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.
