in Universal Credit (UC)
I have had a 'work capability assessment' in July having signed on to UC in March with a doctors note covering my disability (XLH) I was awarded extra money having been deemed unfit for work. I have been told that I won't get it back dated from March to the August when my new payment started. Is this correct?

    Hi,

    The LCWRA element of UC isn't paid until month 4 of your claim.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
