Can CTC be backdated?

ingap

Hi,

I hope someone can help me with some information: We have applied for CTC beginning of November and have just got our letter and been paid on Friday. The letter says that our CTC payments are worked out from 7/11 until April 09 and it seems we have been paid from that date.

However, I was under the impression that they would backdate them by three months? We have been on JSA since March of this year and have never claimed before. Is that a possibility? If so, how would I go about doing it?

Any information would be much appreciated.

Just ring them up to enquire. If they need it in writing they'll tell you

They will only backdate from the date you apply. Ie if you ring and ask by phone they should send the form and they will have records of that call

Thanks ....I had a chuckle at that as well.

I am sure though that it was just quick typing and not checking the draft!

It made me laugh because I've done it myself loads of times when I've been typing away and thinking of something else.

Yes sorry it was quick typing

I have a large 24" monitor and very high res 1920x1200 and have multiple windows open in the browser. Sometimes I get into wrong window whilst I type
