I still havent had a decision. but if I'm put in the group where I get extra money will I be paid any backdate?

Hi there
Based on dates you give nov won't count as the note didn't cover whole assessment period
So dec to Jan Jan to Feb and Feb to Mar are the 3 waiting periods so first payment due would be Apr
So depending when you get decision and if awarded there should be some backpay for Apr , may and June -
dont know if the previous message sent so il send again. do they normally take this long to decide ? and thanks for getting back to me muchappreciated x

There ate no fixed timescales for a decision the estimate is 8 weeks
They are extremely busy catching up with all the backlogs -

hi I was wondering I had 2 advances sent to debt management. the backdated money will they take back what I owe all at once?
-
Hi again
They do normally try to recover any debts from back pay unfortunately -
oh right do they take all? or just some? as I do owe alot. around 2000.. do they normally take it all ? or just some
-
They normally take it all and you get anything left over I'm afraid
One bonus your debt will be paid making your payments more -
I had my first WCA form in January. I got an assessment call on 1st March and a decision on 27th April. I asked for a Mandatory Reconsideration straight away and got the answer today. They still think I am fit for work. Appeal next, I think.
-
Are you confident in knowing how to appeal @hughiemachrins?
-
I think so @Tori_Scope. I have a friend who works for CAB and there is a Housing Association welfare officer who is also helping.
-
Update: Got the text today to say they had received my PIP assessment report. Also today, I have lodged my appeal in the WCA case with great help from the Housing officer. So, waiting on two fronts now!
