Hi,Great news. The LCWRA element of £336 will be backdated to the 4th month of your claim starting from when you sent in your first fit/sick note. This means that if the decision's definitely been made and it's LCWRA then that will be approximately 1 year of backdated money. Check your journal, because the decision letter will be uploaded on there.0

Thank u, first signed on with UC on 21/3/2018 and gave sick note in then, didn't get forms till end of July 2019 and had letter put on journal 6th August sayin i had got LCWRA and they wud rite sayin when it was paid and if any back date, didn't think they back date it that far back, thank u for reply0

I must admit that was a very quick decision time, from when you received the forms. I'm assuming this was your first work capability assessment?

Yes it was and I was dreading it after how long it took to fill form in, just waitin for letter off them to say when first payment starts. It says to ring if not heard off them in 7 days, thank u for helpin it's all so confusin2

Welcome to the community @Kayla24.
I hope it doesn't take too long to receive your letter regarding payments, this will likely be uploaded to your journal.0 -
Thanks to guys that replied to my questions, update for u, got my backdate payment Friday, it wasn't backdated to when my first sick note was sent in August 2018, only had one month backdated, abit confused still after readin posts on here but at least it was something0

HI,I just looked at your other thread here. https://community.scope.org.uk/discussion/62676/lcwra#latest it says you started sending in fit notes in March 2018? If this is correct then the 1 month backdated money is not correct and you need to speak to your case manager. Backdated money should be paid from the 4th month after you sent in your first fit note.

Hi @Kayla24. As long as there have been no gaps in your fit notes (not even a day), then it should be backdated to three full assessment periods after you first submitted a fit note. Please let us know how you get on with your work coach, although you might be better off phoning and speaking with you Case Manager as it is them that would deal with this.0

Just had update sayin 3month waitin period is always from when LCWRA was awarded, mine was awarded 20/3/19.0
-
That's most definitely not correct. The 3 month waiting period is from when you sent in your first fit note, providing there were no gaps in your fit notes. The link i posted above is correct.I'd advise you to get some face to face advice from an agency near you.0
-
I think I will have to as that statement was from the payment section. Thanks for support2
-
Hi @Kayla24, as @poppy123456 said that's definitely incorrect. It's three months after the first fit note. In practice it's three full assessment periods so sometimes nearly 4 months, but it's definitely not from when you're awarded! Do you have a CAB near you or Welfare Rights?0
-
I have CAB so will go there, I can't c why they r sayin it if it's not right. Thanks for support3

Hi I get the limited capability for work element of uc I get paid on the 5th every month. I've had a letter for my 12 month assessment for the 11th September can someone tell me now I've had a appointment for a assessment will I still get my limited capability payment on 5th September? Do they wait until assessment decision to decide weather you'll still get payments or not0
