I've just been giving a reward notice that I'm entitled for extra help I've been handing in sick notes to the job centre and they owe me backdated money for about 12 months due to covid. How long will it be before I get the money backdated?

    Hi there are no fixed timescales 

    Keep checking you old payment statements in your journal and when they show the additional amount the backpay has been calculated it will then need authorising and then wk take 3-5 days to go in your account 

    You sometimes get note in your journal telling you when and how much you will be paid
