HI,It will vary from person to person. I don't understand the logic in your question. I know you're waiting for a decision on the carers element but there's really nothing more you can do but wait.0

thanks I’ve been waiting 3 week now hopefully should hear something this Monday0

There's no timescales for any decision. I think i covered everything in your last thread about the carers element.

Sadly I've known people wait months for an answer on backdating carer element @Connor_Delaney77, so it won't be quick.
If you're owed a backdate it will be £162.92 for every month that you didn't receive the carer element when you were supposed to.0 -
This was my last 2 Payments what covers £9 then I realised why am I getting 9£ a month but was cos I didn’t report I was caring, so would them 2 for backdated plus the first carers element payment what’s coming next month0

Potentially yes but as we have previously advised it's not easy to get the carers element backdated. I'm afraid all you can do is wait.

That's rather a low amount of UC, i'm assuming you are paying back an advance payment on top of the carers allowance deduction
