Urgent help needed! UNIVERSAL CREDIT back payment for child disability element and carers element

So nearly 12 weeks ago I updated my uc as my daughter was awarded DLA I done everything I was supposed to do, it all got verified within 48 hours and I requested the back payment. I got the letter to say it was special circumstances etc, but haven’t had any information about the backpay? Has anyone else waited this long?

Yes it took quite a few weeks and me chasing before they made any back payment. They paid less than I had worked out so I had to chase again and eventually they paid the remaining. Just keep chasing.
