    Query

    my UC statement is different colours for different months 
    so from April 22 till October 22 payment it’s in purple 
    the rest going back to when claim started is blue 

    Has anyone else noticed this or is it just a random

    I've never really taken any notice but just looked at my daughters journal and some statement dates are blue and some are purple..ish. Before you click on the date it's blue, once you've clicked it the colour changes very slightly. It doesn't make any difference either way.

    Mine doesn’t change colour 

    just didn’t no if it was linked to when I started sending sick notes from as that the month I did start sending sick notes from 
    maybe just coincidence then

    There's no relevance to it. The colour is very similar and all my daughters statement dates change colour when i click on them, including the ones from Feb to April 2021 and that was my daughters waiting period.

    You are welcome @Headcook. Listening, being kind and showing understanding are the very least you deserve. 

    It sounds really difficult for you that you feel no one seems to be having the problem you are experiencing. Would you like to tell us more about the problem you are experiencing?

    In all honesty, this is not my area of expertise. However, I am hoping that people with more knowledge and experience in this area will be able to support you further. 

    In the meantime, I am here and listening to you. It does sound really positive that your work coach at least sent links for you to upload.

    I am also hoping for the right outcome for you. Would anything, in particular, help things feel more manageable for you at the moment? 

    We are all here for you and listening to you. You don't have to face this, or anything else, alone if you don't want to  :)

    Been 8 weeks since MD was sent by case manager still no response 
    have sent service manager a message on journal today as it’s getting unacceptable now 
    and I’m struggling financially 
    and am in need of the LCWRA element that should have been paid from October 
    still struggling to understand why this is even happening to me 
    and others 
    but no one on here has issues with the sick notes they have sent and they are saying they have not recieved them 
    must have vanished into thin air then 
    system is broken

    Update 

    so that worked me chasing them this morning 
    it’s looking like it’s been sorted and I’m being told 2 months back pay due in next couple of days

    Do I now get a work allowance ?and if so when does this apply 
    as it’s gone back to may 26 th for LCWRA on my claim and that month I earnt my last lot of wages and lost 55p for every £1 earnt with no work allowance 
    so I lost a lot of that months UC payment 
    do they owe me any more please 
    thank you 
    just happy it is resolved

    Yes you do and the WA applies from when the LCWRA status applies which is from when you reported your health condition in May.

    They should recalculate your entitlement for that month. 
    It will take them a few months to calculate the arrears.

    @calcotti. Thank you for prompt reply 
    my statement has. Updated for Oct and nov  already and service centre has said the back pay is showing for both those 2 months already and he has said paid in next few days 

    but whole statement has not updated back to may 
    maybe I need to wait for this 
    just glad I chased them this morning 
    just decided 8 weeks was enough time for this as that to me is more than acceptable wait in the middle of a cost of living crisis 
    thank you everyone
    maybe anyone reading this may want to take a chance and send a message chasing this as it’s a common issue on this amazing forum

    You can always raise a payment query about it.

    @calcotti. Thanks 

    it is infact correct as that period in may was before condition was reported by only a few days though sadly 
    must say the case manager on this occasion has been very efficient in assisting me with all this 
    I have messaged him my gratitude
    wondering how often he gets that lol
