Hi, I'm westcoast! Is backpayment from date of decision, or when health assessment was sent in?

westcoast

Hi, I have waited 15 months for my health assessment, which I finally got last month.

I am fairly certain I will be placed in the LWRAG.

I am still awaiting a decision.

However I messaged on my UC journal today, asking if there was any update, the message I received was not what I was expecting.

They told me there was NO time scale for a decision to be made, and that if I hadn't heard anything within 4 months they would escalate it.

Also they said if there was any money owed to me it would be paid from the date of the decision.

As far as I was aware it would be back dated -3 month from when my health assessment was sent in.

Can you please clarify this.

Many thanks

Back pay is paid from when you reported the medical condition with the 3 month waiting period so month 4 after reporting it

Many thanks for your reply so would that be 3 months from the start of me receiving UC.

Or 3 months from when I sent in the medical questionnaire?

Both are over a year.

As janer advised, 3 months from when you reported the health condition. If that was when you start of your claim then the LCWRA element would be payable from the fourth payment.

Hi @westcoast. Have you had a decision yet? How long has it been now?

Component react.suggestedcontent had an error.

The value must be greater than or equal to 1.
