SORRY LCWRA

LCWRA should be backdated to the fourth full UC monthly period following that in which you first reported your health condition, so roundabout January 2021. Not possible to say exactly without knowing dates of your UC periods and exact date you first reported your health condition.

Hello @luckylizzie88

Welcome to the community, how are you?

Congratulations on being awarded LCWRA, you must be very happy about that.

Providing you haven't had any gaps in your fit notes since the submission of your first one, you should be awarded LCWRA from the fourth month onwards following that first fit note.

And when are your monthly UC periods? (Or what date are you paid?)

luckylizzie88

6-5th monthly

luckylizzie88

I'm paid on the 12th of each month

Condition reported 28th Sept which is in the Sept - Oct period
Waiting period is the three months from 6th Oct - 5th Nov, 6th Nov - 5th Dec and 6th Dec - 5th Jan.
LCWRA element payable in the 6th Jan - 5th Feb period (paid 12th Feb) and thereafter.

Ok it's taken so long because they made a decision but never put it on the system. So UC was awesome and my work coach literally pushed and pushed and finally the letter came through today on my UC. It just don't give much detail. So I should be backdated from Feb? Is that correct

luckylizzie88

It's so frustrating as they don't go into detail

Once they make a decision somebody else has to work out when the arrears are due from. They then have to recalculate your entitlement for each month and compare it with what you were paid in order to calculate the arrears due. This all takes time.

That's what my calculation indicates. Obviously if I didn't believe it to be correct i wouldn't have said so.
