I’ve just been awarded lcwra does this mean I am entitled to extra benefits? Will they be backdated? And will I still have to provide fit notes? Is it worth just calling uc and asking them about it?

The notice telling you you have LCWRA should confirm that you no longer have to provide Fit Notes.
You will be entitled to extra money (the LCWRA element worth £343.63) but it is only payable from the fourth full month after you reported your health condition supported by Fit Notes so whether you are due any arrears depends on when you reported your health condition.1 -
Hi there
Congratulations, yes you will get the lcwra payment which is £343.63 a month
It should be paid from 4 months after you reported the medical condition
You won't need to provide any more fit notes1 -
