The DWP has issued fresh guidance to those whose applications have been delayed
The Department for Work and Pensions has confirmed that Universal Credit claimants can receive an additional month's payment if their application has been delayed. This backpay is available to those newly applying for Universal Credit if there are specific issues causing a delay in their application.
Those on income-based Jobseeker's Allowance or who receive income-related ESA either alone or with Housing Benefit are expected to transition in September. Individuals have three months to submit a new claim for Universal Credit before their existing benefits are terminated. Individuals facing difficulties with the application process or those who have encountered problems during the transition might be entitled to an additional month of Universal Credit, according to the Department for Work and Pensions . In a recent update concerning backdating claims for Universal Credit, officials declared: "You may be able to backdate your claim if you or your partner were delayed in making a claim through no fault of your own.
Additional reasons that could warrant backpay for Universal Credit encompass scenarios such as previously receiving another benefit without being informed of its cessation, initiating a joint claim with a partner but subsequently separating and filing as an individual, or receiving incorrect advice from a DWP representative that resulted in a delayed claim. Claimants may need to present evidence when requesting backdating.
