Actually you'll be able to put a claim in on the 16th Jan... taken from the above link.

If they refuse your claim then you should give them a copy of this legislation and proof of your SDP award.

Oh @poppy123456 it's been up all afternoon hahaha? hope you had a nice Xmas and New Year Hun. I've not been really with it myself... ? been doing a little campaigning over UC and othe disability issues for a few days but worn me out..
⬇️ I created one of the campaign election videos for Labour, and Jeremy Corbyn, This is a new version of Emeli Sande, Hope "You Are Not Alone
I highlighted everything that's wrong with this country from benefits, NHS, UC etc, but now we have to put up with the hate now that is the Tories.
@Government_needs_reform ah, i don't always look over on that part of the forum. Had i seen it then i wouldn't have posted the link here lol. Oh well, it's here now for others to see
It was quiet, which is how i like it. Hope yours was good too? I'm sure there's a lot of people going to be very happy with this legislation, i know i am. It means that i can finally look for a new home and widen my search, so there's more choice.
Take some time for yourself now and put your feet up, you've earned a rest

@poppy123456 you know me I like a little banter and is no malice meant as you know. I don't matter if it been posted before, I'm not bothered⭐️
As for Xmas New year I really can't remember much about it. It was peacful let's say, glad yours was ? too.
Yes this is good news about SDP will be good for a great many people, but in truth it's still not enough. UC is a killer and many more will surely suffer that's why I'm hoping this Government gets kicked out before it's to late.
But for now this SDP legislation will help..
I will carry on bashing the Government over this and I won't give them a moments peace either.

Indeed you have but until now there was no legislation, so it didn't exist. Now there is you can claim housing benefit anytime from Wednesday.

My local council are refusing to backdate my claim for Housing Benefit on their grounds they state " there has been no continuous good cause to backdate my claim " sufficient for me to say that I am not afraid to go to a court or a tribunal hearing were I will say I HAVE got continuous good cause to backdate the claim based on the fact that if I had gone over to Universal Credit I would have lost over £400 of my SDP and EHP benefit and this would have more seriously impacted on my finances and daily living and have an even more serious impact on my health. The TRUTH is the councils want to blame us in this matter and if they can't blame us they will blame DWP which is the ROOT CAUSE of these problems with the government FEEL FREE TO COMMENT
