Hi I'm already lcw waiting to be reassessment for lcwra as health condition has worsened sent my form back on 3rd november and still waiting if I get lcwra as I have been told I have COPD.when will I get back pay from can you advise please

Kimmy87

Did you report a change in health to trigger the review, and have you been supplying Fit Notes since that declaration?

Or did the DWP randomly start the WCA process?

Harrison217

I reported health change

Kimmy87

If you are awarded LCWRA then the award should be backdated to the date you reported change, but this generally only applies if you have also submitted continuous Fit Notes alongside.

Harrison217

Yes also I've been putting fit notes in from 10th October

Kimmy87

Then the LCWRA element should be backdated to that date meaning you would be owed money.

Harrison217

Thanks very much Jimmy take care have a nice day

Harrison217

Haha sorry Kimmy

Harrison217

I have had to put fit note details on my journal as no were on my online account to add fit note but I've been putting them on since 10th oc

Hi again just wondering I've changed from dla because of copd diagnosis so put in for pip now because of deteriorating so if I'm awarded it do I have to pay extra rent as I have a daughter who live with me and I have to pay out of my universal credit 91 pound odd a mth because she lives here an works full time I get 295 universal month

Harrison217

I'm on mobility only I've had my assessment waiting on outcome

Harrison217

Also if awarded daily living part can I claim back the months what I paid rent top ups

If awarded daily living PIP then the non dependent deductions will not apply for UC.

Unfortunately, as you are currently claiming DLA then your PIP will not start until about 7 weeks after the decision is made, if awarded. If any PIP award is higher than the DLA then no money will be owed. This means that the non dependent deductions rules will only apply once the PIP award starts.

Many thanks
