Still waiting on decision about backdate awarded from universal credit covering the carers element  what i am entitled to. Do they pay you on ur universal credit payment day when they've came up with a decision or do they pay you when they made decision

    HI and welcome,

    It can be very difficult to get the carers element of UC backdated and they don't always do this. If you reported being a carer at the time you want it backdated to then you have more chance. To answer your question, it will most likely be paid on a different day to your usual monthly money.

    3 months is a long time to wait, i'd leave a message on your journal to ask what's happening about the carers element.

    Hi @Delanwy

    Just for your information, it looks like you made the same post twice so I have deleted the other and left this one for people to spot.

    I see @poppy123456 has helpfully responded to your question but please let us know if there is anything else we can help with.

    Have a great Tuesday.
