LCWRA

hi all so as stated in my previous posts I was awaiting a LCWRA award decision the decision was made and I was awarded LCWRA.

My first fit note went in on 10th March 2024 I was awarded LCWRA in February 2025

I am struggling to work out my back pay I have received 1 payment of LCWRA and my deductions are £693 from my partners wage who moved in with me in January 2025

Universal credit have stated that I am owed £193 LCWRA back pay which I think isn’t right. Could someone please help me understand if it is or not thank you

Do you have a dependent child on your claim?

no gaps in my notes as they where all 3 months at a time. I have two children on my claim who I get £575 for and no other back date payments for anything

Thank you, prior to being awarded LCWRA did you have any Transitional Protection on your UC claim, if yes how much was it please?

If you aren't sure what TP is, it would have been on your payment statements if you got it.

For Fit Notes it's the date they are given to UC that counts, not the start date written on them. In that case are there still no gaps?

no I didn’t have TP and no gaps at all

Based on your answers, I'm all out of ideas as to why your backpayment is so low.

You could try a local trained benefits advisor to see if they are able to assist.
