Hi, my name is lindajay! LCWRA Query

lindajay

hello everyone, pls i want to make an enquire  about backpay on 

LCWRA, i had my assessments done on phone due to covid and i was awarded lcwra, and they sent a letter that they will pay the backpayment they owed me which is almost 3k , but for the past 2years now they have not paid, have called them severally, they said they will pay during my next assessment , but my assessment has been overdue and they never ask me to go for one, pls what can i do? i think they dont want to pay me,

Reviews for LCWRA are suspended, so won't be getting a review anytime soon. I don't know why they cannot pay you now, get some advice from Citizens Advice

Hello @lindajay

Welcome to the community! Just to let you know, I popped your post into our Universal Credit section of the forum, in case you had any other questions or queries.

I echo JBS's comment and suggest contacting Citizen's Advice   

lindajay

hanna_scope, thanx so much for your contribution, i will do just that, have been calling the citizen Advice in my area to know what days they attend to people because they don't open everyday, but they didn't pick their phone, now i will go there on monday.

tanx  to  everyone for your contribution, i went to citizen advise today, the person i met told me to ring them again or send another message to them through my journal and see what they will say again, but am scared to call or send message to them because i don't want to remind  them about the assessment for now, am going through anxiety now, and that assessment gives me headache, i don't like it at all.  assessment is like dying before death, i don't want to wake them up about it , so i don't know what to do again,

hi sorry to jump in you may want to put it under the payment section on your journal as i have been leaving messages on my journal and since being placed in the lcwra group have been told i dont have a work coach now 

lindajay

micheal57,tanx so much , i will try that and see how it goes, am just fed up, how can you owed me so much and don't want to pay, the system awarded  the back payment to be paid , but it was the manager that decided to hold on to it. because when i was phoning them up and down about the money, everyone   i spoke with was confused, they said it was in  the system that they should   pay me and don't know why they have not paid. and told me to send a message to the manager through my journal which i did, it was then the manager said they cant pay me until my next assessment , 2years has gone and nothing from them only my monthly payment,

That's complete nonsense. If they owe it to you then they must pay it! Did you receive any money that was owed to you?

All reviews are currently suspended so you won't have another review anytime soon.

poppy123456, tanx so much for your contribution, they only paying  me my monthly payment for

LCWRA , but they refused to pay my lump sum for  back payment which was awarded to me, but  since the assessment is been suspended for now, may be i will remind them in my journal.

Definately contact them through the journal. Let us know how u get on.

If you don't have any joy after putting a message onto your journal under the payment section then i'd advise you to contact your local MP. Tell them exactly what's happened and hopefully they will contact DWP on your behalf. https://www.parliament.uk/get-involved/contact-an-mp-or-lord/contact-your-mp/

Did you receive any money at all that was owed to you?

lindajay

poppy123456, not at all, i did not received any money owed to me by them.

lindajay

Thank so much everyone concerning the problem that brought me to this wonderful forum, i sent a message to them  yesterday , and i received a reply this morning apologising for the delay in payment and gave a date they will pay my backdated to my account, am really happy about it and i will come back again to let you know how it goes, and a bottle of lager to you all...hahahaha thank you all
