HI,Great news on the LCWRA. You will receive the extra money from the 4th full assessment period starting from when you sent in your first fit note. Any further money owed should also be backdated to the same time the LCWRA is paid from.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.

Thanks for answering will i also get the money back dated from the benefit cap they have been t\aking off us since our claimed started in may do you know?

You're welcome. No, i'm afraid you won't receive it backdated to May because of the 3 month waiting period.

we started receiving non capped money after pip decision was made which was nearly 5 months after start of claim. So the question would be in those 5 previous months from start of pip claim should uc have been capped or is there backdated payment to be claimed

thanks, my first sick note was from 16th of may and i was awarded lcwra on 20th november so they might owe me a bit, sorry for all the questions its the first time ive claimed anykind of benefit it all gets very confusing

No problem. Potentially you'll be owed 2 months of LCWRA element which is £336 per month plus the benefit cap difference but it will depend on when your assessment period is.I note that you have 3 children, if one of them was born after April 2017 then you won't receive any money for this child.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please.
