hi I recently just accepted new commitments for LCWRA and was wondering if I would recieve backdated payment. I was receiving esa until 10th of October 2025 which then I appealed after not getting into support group, the 11th of October 2025 I joined UC and didn’t receive any UC money until 16th of June since my esa stopped 21st may 2026. I submitted fit notes with no gaps to UC where I then had an assessment on the 12th of may and got LCW for uc and on the 28th of September I had my ESA tribunal and won to receive LCW/LCWRA. Will I recieve any backpay? also since fit notes was sent in before April 6 2026 will it be higher rate?
