Am I entitled to LCWRA back pay?

I applied for limited work capability for work related activity in April 2020 and was finally rewarded it in November 2021. I put sick notes in for the full time until I was rewarded. Does this mean I’m entitled to back pay

    Hi,
    There's a full 3 month waiting period and the extra money is paid from the 4th month of your claim starting from when you first reported your health condition. When it's paid from will depend on the dates of your assessment periods.
    LCWRA payments will start from either Aug/Sept 2020. Providing you're not claiming UC with a partner that already has the LCWRA element on your claim.
    It can often take a few weeks to pay any money owed.
