I've been out of work for 7years.
5 years ago I had a WCA and was put on LCWRA.
I had a WCA about 3 years ago and was deemed fit for work.
I have now had another WCA and been put back on LCWRA.
How does having a previous WCA affect the LCWRA payment? I only as as a few posts mention that having a previous WCA matters for some reason.

3 years ago when you were found fit for work did you appeal that decision? If you didn't then when did you report a change of circumstances for the most recent decision?

I assume the latest review was prompted by you reporting a change to DWP in which case the LCWRA element should be included from the fourth complete assessment period in which you reported the change.
Had you been in LCW group rather than Fit for Work there would be no waiting period.0 -

The WCA was a few weeks ago and I got the result todaycalcotti said:I assume the latest review was prompted by you reporting a change to DWP in which case the LCWRA element should be included from the fourth complete assessment period in which you reported the change.

Your LCWRA will start from either August or September, depending on the exact dates of your assessment periods and when exactly you reported your health condition.1
