    LCWRA element is backdated from the 4th month after you sent in your first fit note.

    That’s great news @phoeiblaze!
    As Poppy said, as long as there have been no breaks in your fit notes, it should be backdated to the 4th month after your first fit note was submitted. 

    Hope that helps.  :)

    Just spoke to DWP.....I had a capabilities assessment in 2017 (which i don't remember at all). I was deemed fit to work...later part of 2017 I contemplated throw myself off my balcony of 17th floor flat. I received sick notes from there onwards. According to DWP (nice lady I spoke to) the decision is based off Feb to present.

    Hi @phoeiblaze, thank you for updating us about this. I'm sorry it's not backdated as far as you had though and that your mental health was affected. I hope you receive your backdated payments from February soon :)

    Please do let us know if there is anything else we can do!

    @Chloe_Scope I wasn't really expecting it to go that far. Was just curious. 

    And....

    Will do!  :)
