LCWRA back pay?

Coco2025 · June 2

Hi im new to this but id appreciate any help.

First fit note which covered 3 months was submitted on the 6th march 2025

Lcwra was then awarded on the 7th may 2025

I've received a uc journal message saying the dates which are

19/02 - 18/03

19/03 - 18/04

18/04 - 19/05

Then it says lcwra awarded 19/05 to 18/06

IAm I entitled to backpay? I really don't understand any of it!

If anyone can reply id really appreciate it 🙂

LCWRA has a waiting period of three full assessment periods. No money is paid or subsequently owed for that period.

The Journal replies don't always get it right, personally I think with your dates your waiting period is:

Mar/April

April/May

May/June

So first eligible in June/July.

LCWRA will reduce any Transitional Protection you get.

Hello @dd12dd

Yes, when they recalculate your award for LCWRA, they should also recalculate and remove the benefit cap for the same period.

Thanks for getting back to me as a few have said they will lift the cap but not backdated the payments as to why I am confused
