UC TRANSFER - WAIT TIME

DWP wait time for transfer over to UC is supposed to be 5 weeks from the end date of the old benefit you are transferring from - at least this is my understanding; so say the wait is 13 weeks (the average for my area but can be up to 33 weeks in rare circumstances) and you get paid does this mean that you will be paid 13 weeks money? or do they just pay you 4 weeks money and stick two fingers up as far as the rest (the other 9 weeks) is concerned? Could anybody enlighten me please? thanks:blink:

One has to wait "so many weeks" before receiving payment off the DWP - A 4 week wait is mandatory before supposedly getting your money in the 5th week and then every month thereafter - my concern is the wait time for UC where i live is at least 13 weeks before getting first payment (13 weeks, 14 weeks 15 weeks etc depends on DWP delays- you are supposed to be paid in the 5th week but this can and does take a lot longer for some individual cases) sometimes longer and my question was essentially "do you only get a months money when you receive first payment or do you get the weekly equivalent for the total amount of time (weeks or months) you have had to wait?" - i make my claim and get paid 3 months later - do i get 3 months money ? - hope this helps.
