Back payment of arrears are all well and good but many people, particularly those who are disabled and in ill-health, are likely to be homeless and dead from starvation after being without any income for 5 months!
Hi DJ,
Yes, it can take some months for The FTT, to provide the S of R once requested, but at least you would know whether or not The DWP had requested The S of R within the month deadline if you contacted The FTT.
I totally agree with your last paragraph !
It is simply not good enough !!
