    You should receive the extra money for LCWRA element in your next payment.
    The 2 months that you're owed will be paid separately and it can take a few weeks for them to recalculate your statements to work out exactly what they owe you.


    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    They are not correct here. You won't be the first person to have this problem. Your waiting period is as follows Nov/Dec, Dec/Jan, Jan/feb … LCWRA starts from AP 27th Feb to 26th March and first payment would be 3rd April.
    So they owe you for AP feb/March, March/April, which is 2 months. The LCWRA element should be added to this months statement.
    You can request the Mandatory Reconsideration for this telling them you disagree with the decision of the start date for LCWRA, tell them exactly when you reported your health condition and you sent fit notes without any gaps. Remind them the waiting periods starts when you send evidence of your health condition.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.

    Hi poppy, I have rang and even I lady has said on the phone I am entitled to back date. So she told me to write what she says down in paper and then for me to write that in my journal so hopefully something will be done. If not then I’ll bring taking ur advice
