I got awarded LWCRA. Will I get a backdated payment?

Hi. I got awarded LCWRA on the 25-01-2021 and apprantly I have to wait 3 months. I asked how is it assessed and they said;

Assesment period 06-05-2021 - 05-06-2021 payment date 12-06-2021

My payment for UC is 12th of every month., my question is will I get back dated from the 25-01-2021 or get nothing at all. From my calculations it should be back dated 4 months?

Hi 

It depends when you declared your medical condition 

There is a full 3 month assessment period waiting time till you get any payment and this isnt backdated 

So if you declared it on date you have given their explanation is correct

Well Its for ADHD I've always gave them a sick not for years then December 2020 I tried to work but got sacked due to my condition so I put a sick note it again in Jan 2021

It will be a new claim then so yes still correct 

Did you get the LCWRA payment before you started to work in dec 

ZiiPop

No never had it.
