Hi, I recently had a health assessment (I was meant to have one last year but the DWP forgot to book me in for one) and got moved from LCW to LCWRA. Should I expect to receive my new benefit amount from my next pay date? Will I be paid any backdated amount? Cheers

LCW means Limited Capacity for Work and LCWRA is Limited Capacity for Work and Work Related Activity. Sorry if it wasn't clear!-2

This website should explain it better than I can: https://www.understandinguniversalcredit.gov.uk/new-to-universal-credit/health-conditions-or-disabilities/-2

Yes, on LCW you are expected to prepare for work. On LCWRA you are not asked to do that, and you will recieve a higher monthly payment.-1

It was a general reassessment. I was first assessed Sept '17, but wasn't assessed in Sept '18. Luckily, the DWP remembered to book me an assessment this year. Thank youHart86 said:Was it just a general reassessment or did you report a worsening condition?
You should receive the increased money (£336) in your next UC payment.

There is a three month waiting period which will beginwhen you provide evidence of having limited capability for work
Simply used google search....All here for you ?2 -
Does that apply if I've been in LCW since September '17 though? I'm really not sure how they work it all out. The same with backdating. I've googled, but all the info seems to be for people with new claims.-4
