Hi can anyone tell me does lcwra get back dated from your first sick note handed in? My claim was made on the 25th of January 2021 and I have provided sick notes from that date right up until my decisions which was made on the 23 of April.

Hi and welcome
There is a 3 month waiting period you don't get paid for so you will be looking at around June for your first payment
Hope this helps0 -
Hi thank you for you prompt response does this mean I will get backdated from the 25th of January any arrears im owed and also I'm due a payment this month but on my journal it only says my universal credit and not my extra allowance for this month.
Kind regards0 -
No you won't get any back pay as you are not entitled to any payment till the 4th month
So as I said your 1st payment will be in June and just 1 payment0 -
Okay is that the case even if I have provided fit notes too.
Kind regards0 -
Yes it is the case for everyone there is no entitlement for the first three months
Read up about it on gov website0 -
Okay glad you could clear that up for me because when I phoned up the office the lady on the phone said I'm entitled to back payment.
Kind regards

Hello @callumkelso
Welcome to the community, I hope you're well today.
As mentioned above, you will be paid from the 4th month so won't receive any backpay for the previous periods. I hope the responses from Janer have helped to clear things up for you.0 -
