Hello everyone. 

I discussed in a previous post that I had been given a date for an lcwra assessment.

I've since had this and have been awarded lcwra as a part of the disability element.

Its been a year since i applied/gave evidence so I've been expecting that money to be backdated. 

I've received my first lcwra payment in my uc but no information on backdated pay or actually any information at all on my journal aside from my award letter.

I have asked on my journal about it today (not expecting an answer until Monday obviously) 

But does anyone know if the backdated pay is made separately? 

Or if there something that could effect me receiving that money? 

Thank you in advance for any advice give 💜

It's not paid at all during the waiting period. The extra money is then paid from the 4th month of your claim. When it's paid from will depend on what date you first reported your health condition and the dates of your assessment periods, or when you usually receive your money each month.

MOney owed is paid separately.
