Hi, my name is jadecoops! Will my WCA claim be backdated?

Hello I’m just wondering if anyone can help me. So basically I’ve been putting in fitnotes since 2.7 years ago non stop till now, I started on 25th Feb 2021. I then applied for a wca 3 times and got denied, because of the pandemic, and finally this year they’ve accepted it yesterday. My claim they’ve taken went in at July 13th 2023, will I only be paid money from July 2023 - now … or will I be paid from when I first done my fitnotes for my condition in 2021? Thankyou in advance for anyone who helps!

For clarity, was this 3rd time a new claim for a worsening condition or was it awarded via Tribunal from the original February 2021 decision?

It was the 3rd time I claimed for wca that they actually accepted it and told me I was awarded, but I’m wondering as I’ve been sending it fit notes since 2021 will I get it from then or from July when they accepted it ?

More information is needed before anyone can advise. We know it's the 3rd time but what happened with the previous 2 WCAs? Were you found fit for work or LCW in your 2nd WCA? was this a change of circumstances that you reported? If so what date did you report those changes?
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.
