Hi, my name is duffy3410! Am I eligible for backpay for LCWRA?

duffy3410

Just had my first lwcra payment on the 10th after completing assessment period. I just wondered if I'm eligible to backpay I've been awarded lwcra from Oct last year I find it a bit confusing thankyou for any replies

It’s not paid at all during the waiting period, which is 3 full assessment periods starting from when you provided your first fit note.

What date exactly did you provide your first fit note?

It started the end of October for my latest assessment under a new condition

Was this your first work capability assessment or did you have one prior to this? If you did, what was the decision of that assessment?

If this was the first assessment then I will need to know the exact date you provided your first fit note. You can check back on your journal to see what the date was.

Heya @duffy3410 and welcome to the community. 

I can see you're already getting some top advice from Poppy, but I wanted to stop in and say a quick hello.
