Still no time-frame for back payments they are working on it.

Not only have the DWP been forced to make back payments they have to pay compensation as well.

Had a letter from UC yesterday my TP was incorrect and now due £2,215.50 back payment and they have recalculated my statements.
Unless I've made a mistake it seems that with the TP my UC payments (£893.19 a month) were slightly more than my old ESA (£204.75a week), would anyone disagree with that?

£204.75 * 52 = £10,647 / 12 = £887.25Life in the slow lane1

Thanks, that's what I made it. Seems just under £6 a month more. As it's extra I'm wondering if that includes an inbuilt compensation.born_again said:£204.75 * 52 = £10,647 / 12 = £887.25
