Hi I've been awarded over a year backdated lcwra, I haven't heard anything in over a month and not received any letters other than the initial award letter and that my tribunal won't be going forward as it was awarded in my favour. Anyone know a rough time it takes to hear or get this? Thanks

Were you awarded by a Tribunal or DWP? If it's Tribunal then it can take up to 8 weeks to put your award into payment and about the same time to pay what is owed.If it was by DWP then it's not unusal for it to take quite a few weeks for them to recalculate your past statements to work out how much you've already been paid, against what you should have been paid. As it's been over a month i would have expected them to have done that now. Put a message on your journal under the payment section and ask about the money they owe you.1

It was through dwp, I was awaiting a trial date and had done all my case irh citizens advice and it was a full week before Christmas.
Really hesitant to message in my journal as I messaged twice since the outcome came through and haven't received a response on either.
My work coaches really haven't been the greatest and feel they've been a massive contribution to my mental health which I detailed in my journal. Would they be avoiding me ?

I meant to add my award was added immediately actually I got it in my December pay but was told it would be backdated to over a year ago this is the part I haven't received and haven't received any letters or anything about it.0

As you've now been found to have LCWRA you won't have a work coach. When you've put messages onto your journal have you put them under the payment section? Doing so will mean a case manager will see them.0

Oh really? I have no idea how it works and as I said no one has been much help at all case managers too have been quite cheeky but I will do that now thank you for your help x0

Hi @spicygal420, first of all welcome to the community
secondly, congrats on getting LCWRA! I know backdate payments can sometimes take a little longer, but I would certainly message the case manager to get a proper answer and ensure it is being processed.
And yes! They don't make it easy to find out the information you need to know.0
