Sick note backdate payment

Ayman111111

I get very sick over 18 months and   Before 5 weeks they  awarded me for LCWRA  my question  universal credit going to backdate payment from first sick note ? I mean I have to claim my  one and half year sick note or they will pay me automatically ? Or I will get nothing for my long time sick note?

Please any one can help?
thank you

As advised on your other thread here https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/100376/back-date-payment#latest there's a full 3 month assessment period waiting time and the extra money for LCWRA element is then paid from the 4th month after you first reported your health condition. Providing you sent a fit note within 7 days of that and continued to send them without any gaps until a decision was made on your WCA.

When it's paid from will depend what date you reported your health condition/sent your fit note and what date you usually receive your money each month. It's not possible to tell you when it's paid from without knowing the answer to those questions.

If you're claiming UC with a partner that already receives the LCWRA element on your claim then you won't receive any extra money because it's only one LCWRA element per claim.

I asked what date but July 2021 doesn't help because there's 31 days in July.  Therefore it would be either Nov or Dec 2021 when the first payment will be.

Any money owed will be paid separately to your usual monthly money and can take a few weeks to pay what is owed.
