    Hello @forstgump, this reads that you’ve been awarded LCWRA (limited capability for work and work-related activity).

    Yes it involves extra money. You won’t receive anything for the first three full assessment periods following the reporting of the health condition.

    That’s a very quick turn around. You could ask them for a copy of your assessment report (it sounds like you may have have a paper-based assessment). 
    LCWRA is the group that receives extra money (unless a partner on the claim is already receiving extra money for LCWRA).

    As I mentioned earlier, there is no money for the first three full assessment periods from when you reported the health condition. Money will start to be paid from the fourth full assessment period.

    Nope. There is a three full assessment period waiting period, so those three months won’t be paid. Depending on when you reported the health condition you may still be owed money, but nothing for the first three assessment periods.

    If it was reported only 3 months ago then no you will not be owed anything, there is a waiting period as advised.

    You might be confusing this with PIP, that is backdate right to the beginning.

    Hi there 

    Some people wait a long time for assessments which us why they get back pay.  

    The ruling is as above nothing is pain for the first 3 assessment periods after reporting the condition and providing fit note 

    To answer your other questions yes if you was owed a back payment they can take any amount you owe to dwp from the backpay 

    But as you won't be getting back pay this will not apply
