in Universal Credit (UC)

Hi I have recently been accepted for lcwra on my universal claim I have been on Lcw for a while and I was sent a uc50 in Dec for a review of my LCW entitlement that assessment lead to a Lcwra award does this mean I will be back dated for when they sent me the uc50 form my review was around 12 months late from the back log aswell, thanks for any help as am struggling to understand how to work it out.

    Your review wasn't late as such because the timescale they give is just a guide. If this was a review started by UC then the extra money is paid from the assessment period in which the decision was made. No money is owed.

    If you reported changes to your health condition and provided fit notes that prompted them to refer you again then it's paid from the assessment period in which you reported the changes.
