Hi ive been on lcw since 5th september 2020 and been waiting for a assessment. I had my assessment last week and have been awarded lcwra but not heard anything about my backpay. All my sick notes are upto date

Was the review started by you because you reported a change in your health condition? Or was it started by DWP?

If it was started by you, then the LCWRA element will be paid from the assessment period in which you reported the changes.

If it was started by DWP then it's paid from the assessment period in which the decision was made.

I thought reviews for LCWRA were suspended.

They are but the OP didn't state when the changes took place so a review could have started by DWP before reviews were suspended.
