LCWRA

Mrsmooth6731

Hello, would it be possible to give me a little information. I’ve been awarded LCWRA.
im trying to work out from when it will be backdated from.
ive been told the start date will be the 10th November 2022, and I’m also told there is a 3 month waiting period . Today’s date is the 23rd April 2023, and my conformation letter came into my journal on the 20th of April. I’ve been made aware my first payment of LCWRA will be made in my Mays universe credit, and if there is any backdated money’s i will be informed.

can you please tell me if I’m entitled to any backdated payments, from the dates I’ve given,it would be a great help.
thank you so very much.
John.

What date do you usually receive your money each month? and did you send fit notes without any gaps until a decision was made on your work capability assessment?

Hi @Mrsmooth6731 - welcome to the community. If I may join in:

From the dates you've given for your assessment period & payment dates, then payment is due for your AP of 3 Mar - 2 April, with payment on 9 April, so one months backpayment currently due, presuming your first fit note was 10 Nov 2022, & you don't live with a partner who is already claiming the LCWRA element.

Thanks so much that’s really helpful. How long is the typical waiting time for backdated payments.

Any money owed will be paid separately to your usual monthly money and can often take quite a few weeks to pay it. First they need to recalculate your statement to work out how much you have received against what you should have received. You will then receive the difference between the 2. Once this is done you'll receive a letter on your journal telling you how much is owed and it will then be paid into your bank.

You will need to check your next statement to make sure the LCWRA element is added.
