Hi everyone. First time ive posted on here so i do apologise if i go on a bit...
So, in october 2018 i applied for universal credit and handed in a sicknote on the 21st so about 4 days later... i was sent a uc50 and had a assessment which i was found fit for work, i done a MR and was awarded LCW and told to STOP handing in sicknotes.... i appealed the MR and won my appeal on 29th april 2020 and now i am entitled to LCWRA. Im just wondering if i will get the full 15 months backpay that i think i am due... only reason im worried is because i was told to stop handing sicknotes in and everywhere that ive read it says you must hand sicknotes in with no gaps. Does this not apply to me because i had already been awarded LCW ? Any help would be much appricated.

Hello @fayet27. Congratulations on the successful appeal!
Not handing in fit notes doesn't matter in your situation, as you had already been awarded LCW so were not required to hand them in.
Your back-pay should be calculated to 3 full assessment periods from the first fit note.0 -
Thank you, and thank you so much for your help, I thought that was the case but wanted to be reassured off someone who would know. Take care2
