Hi @amyb1991x and welcome to the community. 😊

I've added a link to an earlier post which might be helpful - LCWRA - am i entitled to be backdated? — Scope | Online Community. One of the key comments states:

"The LCWRA should be backdated to when you reported the health condition provided you supplied details of continuous Fit Notes. The extra money (LCWRA element) should be paid from the fourth full UC period after you reported the health condition".

Best wishes,

Holly

LCWRA has a waiting period of three full assessment periods, from the date the first Fit Note was handed in. No money is paid or subsequently owed for that period.

What date did you report the health condition?

What date was your first Fit Note?

Were there any gaps in handing in Fit Notes, any that were backdated etc? It's not the start date in them that counts, it's the day you gave them to UC.

Do you claim with a partner who gets LCWRA, or have Transitional Protection on your claim?

Finally what is your UC assessment period or payment date?
