If you get awarded LCWRA it will be backdated to 4 assessment periods after submitting your first sick note as there is a waiting period
So if you sent your fit note 06/04/20 this was part way through your assessment period so that month wont count
So May will be the first month , June, July and August so payment would start from September so there wont really be any back pay
What are the dates of your assessment period ?
I can see @janer1967 is providing some helpful advice about your LCWRA.
In the meantime, I've moved your post to our Universal Credit discussion board so others can spot your question.
