People on legacy benefits could be due £1,500 back payments following appeal hearing next month
An appeal hearing over the £20 weekly uplift which was paid to millions of people claiming Universal Credit during the coronavirus pandemic, but not to those on legacy benefits, is due to take place next month. The legal team representing four benefit claimants will present their case to the Court of Appeal on either December 6 or 7, 2022 - the date has still to be confirmed.
