Has anyone had to wait for a backdate of the carer part of universal credit if so how long did it take for them to make a decision whether they can backdate it or not

There are no timescales but it can often take a few weeks. Unless the person caring reported the being a carer previously, it can be difficult to get this backdated.
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. -
I hope my wife will get her Carer element of UC backdated when our son is awarded PIP.Never allow DWP assertions to define you. They never have evidence of your true circumstances.

She should declare it now because as advised, if she doesn't she will olnly be entitled to the carers element from the assessment period in which the changes were reported. Your son will need to be awarded daily living PIP.
