Hi. I just had my UC50 medical assessment by telephone. I've been providing fit notes for months. Will my claim, if successful, be backdated to when I first provided a fit not or to when I first applied for UC50? Also, how long should I wait before pestering them for a decision? Thanks

If found to have LCWRA it will be from when 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 is made on your WCA.For the LCWRA element there's a full 3 month assessment period waiting time and the extra money is paid from the 4th month after you reported your health condition/sent your first fit note. It's not paid at all during the waiting period.When it's paid from exactly will depend on what date you reported your health condition/sent your first fit note and what date you usually receive your money each month.Decisions can take up to 12 weeks once the assessment report is returned to DWP.1
