Hi I’ve been on uc since 2018. I’ve been putting in fit notes since June 2021 and just received a letter saying I’m eligible for limited to work and work related activity? Can someone please tell me if I get that backdated and when from and if I have child so not single how much that will be ?

Hi,
Having a child and not being single makes no difference to this.
There’s a full 3 month assessment period waiting time for the extra money and it’s paid from the 4th month of your claim from when you first reported your health condition.
When it’s paid from exactly will depend on what date you first reported your health condition and the dates of your assessment periods (or when you usually receive your payment each month) based on the limited information you’ve given the extra £343 per month will be paid from either Oct/Nov.
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. -
