I've been awarded LCWRA. Will they backdate my money to when work coach requested new assessment?

I am so confused, I was classed as lcw until I had a new diagnosis and was put forward by uc work coach for a new assessment and they changed it to lcwra , does this mean they backdate my money to date work coach asked for new assessment? Tia

    I'm glad you were able to find an aswer from Jane @lauraw1, but I'm sorry to read of the impact this has on your anxiety. Do you have coping techniques in place for when your levels of anxiety do rise as you describe there?
