in Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
just spoke to unhelpful idiot at dwp abo at mo ,ut how my underpayment  claim is going, im being processed at mo , he tells me its not being done by people who work for dwp  and as they dont believe any info we put on form they have to get info from hmrc and bank statements for the time we are claiming for what a joke.

    Hi @stillpoorly, I'm sorry to hear this, I imagine it has been a very stressful time for you! Are the underpayments in relation to ESA?

    It may be worth ringing again and seeing if you are able to speak to someone who is more useful - I appreciate this is not ideal!

    Hi, once a decision is made they will send him a letter. The current waiting times for decisions on this are between 12-20 weeks. Whether he’s entitled to any backdated money will depend on his circumstances during the dates in the letter. 
    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.

    There's no timescales because backlogs are huge for the underpayments.
