    I'd allow several weeks at least for your backpayment to be calculated and paid.

    You'll know when this has been done as a letter will be added to your Journal stating the amount owed.

    Payment will be sent within a few working days.

    (I'm guessing you are referring to Disabled Child Element under UC).
