Hi I got awarded lcwra in early Feb on my journal it said I would get another message within 7days still not had that message yet I messaged on my journal  to say I haven't received  it  then when I logged into journal  today it's asking me for a new fit note  do I have to get one as letter I received  early Feb said I didn't need anymore many thanks

Hi welcome, As far as I am aware you no longer have to supply fit notes as stated in your letter , maybe the system hadn't updated yet to shoe this, I would ring and get it cleared up

HI,

I agree that you should ring. Once placed into one of the groups then no more fit notes are needed. While you're on the phone i'd also ask about any backdated money that you maybe owed. Whether you're owed anything will depend on when you first sent your first fit note and when your claim for UC first started. LCWRA element has a waiting period of 3 full UC assessment periods and this applies to most people.

Ok Thank you  for reply will give them a ring

Thank you

Hello  I phoned them and they are saying the reason I didn't get message is because no money owing  they said I don't need fit notes  any more but I've been sending in fit note since last July  any advice would be grate full thanks

Are you sure the decision is LCWRA and not just LCW? Please check your journal again to see exactly what it says.

if it is LCWRA have you been sending in fit notes all this time with no breaks?

debdeb13

Yes it lcwra

I've checked  all fit notes last one I sent in was dated 2 days later than previous 1 is this why  

debdeb13

Sorry double checked no breaks in fitnote

Hi @debdeb13. On the decision letter can you copy the text over where it says which group you are in? 

Is your claim a single claim or a joint one and if it's joint is your partner receiving LCWRA?
