Just got accepted for LCWRA at tribunal, I’m owed about a year in back pay. Just wanted to know roughly how long it takes to receive first payment.

and is there any way I can check the progress or will it just be paid into my account whenever it’s ready at a random time?

    It can take up to about 8 weeks after a Tribunal win. 

    Before they can pay what is owed they will need to recalculate your past statements. This will tell them what you’ve already received against what you should have received. You will then be owed the difference between the 2. Once this is done you’ll receive a letter on your journal. Money owed will be paid separately to your usual monthly money. 
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
