I was just awarded LCWRA. Am I due any back dated payments?

Hello everyone!
I have been providing fit notes since 25th September 2020, and had my Wca assessment last week (5th Feb).
Got a letter in my uc journal this afternoon letting me know that they have decided that I have Lcwra.
Trying to figure out if I'm due anything back dated. My assessment period for uc is 9th till 8th of every month. Any insight or advice is appreciated.

Great news this is how it is worked out
Sept wouldn't count as fit note doesnt cover whole of assessment period as long as that is when you reported medical condition on that date
Oct 9th -nov 8th first waiting period
9th nov -8th dec 2nd waiting period
9th dec - 8th jan 3rd waiting period
9th jan to 8th feb first payment period
So you should get additional payment in your feb payment but no back pay will be due
Hope this helps
You could always put a note on your journal to make sure it is picked up
Please note when they sort it they will alter your feb statement so you might want to print it off b4 they update it so you can see it wasnt paid
My statement has been updated with this months lcwra payment

I have a work search call with my work coach on my to do list for 5th March. Will that be taken off my to do list?
Hi! Yeah pip isn't part of universal credit. It's paid separately. I was wondering if the phone call would still go ahead, as it's still in my to do list. If the work search call comes, I will nicely tell them I have lcwra
Like I said before they do overwrite old payments once they add the element on
Either put a note o your journal or cal them
