No, you no longer need to provide any further fit notes, nor attend any appointments. If it's New style ESA you're claiming then the extra money will be paid from the 14th week of your claim. New style ESA Support Group /LCWRA is £117.60 per week.

Hello there @kay52 and welcome to the community Thanks for reaching out with your query. 

It's positive to hear that you've been awarded LCWRA, how are you feeling about it?

As mentioned you won't need to send in anymore fit notes or attend appointments

Sue don’t know if is you who have tagged it or is original OP but it is tagged UC when the question is about ESA.

OP, the letter should tell you that you no longer need to supply Fit Notes.

Yes you're right - I misread poppy's post and thought the OP was claiming new style ESA.  Will amend/ retag

You are welcome @kay52. It is the very least you deserve.

Unfortunately, this is not an area of my expertise though. Hopefully, someone else with more knowledge in this area can respond to you soon.

In the meantime, I just wanted you to know that we see you and hear you

They are claiming New style ESA, though in the question the OP did say Contributions based ESA.

I don't understand your comment here because their question has been answered by myself a couple of hours before your comment.
