You still haven't answered the question... were you found fit for work back in 2019 when they didn't receive your UC50 form?

Hi and no i was not found fit for work back in 2019. I applied for pip and got the high rate soon as i got ill, i applied for uc two months later as i was advised i was entitled both benefits, i had no knowledge of this entitlement. My uc journal is my evidence and im not sure why they are making it so complicated. I was definitely unfit for work when i applied for uc. Thanks

Any advice please as to when my back pay should really start, is it from the first uc50 i sent in 2019 or the second one in feb 2021. Thankyou

I am assuming they are taking from 2nd form, he might have to appeal this to tribunal, as he has clear evidence, but then it depending on jobsworth assertion of when request made, he has a valid claim for 2 years, doubt UC would accept 2 yrs fit note without an investigation, especially if they have it on file original form was requested in 2019.

But folks need to photocopy these forms and I recommend getting a proof of delivery as well least if it goes missing their end you still have a copy of what was sent

Hi, my support worker recieved a email from the dwp back in 2021 stating they are aware of my first claim and will backdate from 2019, my support worker has emailed them to address we have a issue regarding back payment, i am still waiting for a reply, its been 10 days since my support worker emailed them. Thankyou

That is the first time you have mentioned an email to the support worker in 2021, It isn’t possible to advise you if you drip feed information. As you still have a support worker helping you then it is best to let them deal with it. Waiting 10 days for a reply isn't long..
