hi there

I recently got awarded for LCWRA. My first fit note was submitted from the 24th September 2024.

I currently get pip & sdp which, on my transferral over to UC I received Transitional protection of over £500 a month. I have got my monthly statement and, as expected, the TP has decreased because I now get the LCWRA element.

As I already get SDP from being on pip, will I be due a back payment of LCWRA from the 13th week of my UC claim where I went from JSA to now found as LCWRA?

    SDP is not paid with either PIP or UC.

    Previous SDP & JSA isn't relevant beyond the amount of Transitional Protection on your UC claim.

    The waiting period is three full assessment periods before LCWRA is payable.

    Because your TP exceeds the LCWRA amount, being eligible or not for backpay doesn't matter as all it would do is reduce your TP in the first Assessment Period once the LCWRA waiting period is over.

    There is no financial gain for you either way.
