Hi today i received a message on my journal regarding my wca decision, it says i have limited capability for work and will no longer have to search or prepare for work. i didnt acctually have an assesment i just filled out the form. just wondering dose this mean that im entilted to the roughly £350 on top of my UC, also my sick notes started from march 1st, and my pay date is 3rd of the month, how would i work out how mcuh would be back dated if any.

thanks

    The extra money isn’t paid at all during the waiting period, which is 3 full assessment periods. It’s then paid from the 4th month of your claim starting from when you first reported your health condition.
    Based on the information you gave your waiting period will be from March to June. LCWRA starts from assessment period June 28th to July 27th and first payment will be August 3rd. No backdated money is owed.
    The LCWRA element is £354.28/month, which will be paid as part of your maximum UC entitlement.

    thanks for speedy response, so just to clarify should get 354.28 + my normal uc payment

    That’s correct.
