    Hi @jadecoops and welcome!

    In this instance, I believe the DWP would only pay from the date your WCA was applied for. So July 2023. 

    How have you been asking the people at UC?  Usually leaving a note in your journal should get a reply in a day or two.

    It will be from July 2023 I believe. You won't get it backdated if have already had the WCA severalt times and been refused

    The reason I’m asking if it’ll be backdated to when I started putting in fit notes as it says when I first stated my medical conditions , and that was 2.7 years ago, but only just won lcwra, I was told it will be from my first fit note

    Help is being given on your other thread here. https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/110203/hi-my-name-is-jadecoops-will-my-wca-claim-be-backdated#latest it's not helpful to have 2 threads with the same questions because it just causes confusion.
