Awarded lcwra letter states 'You  were awarded  LCWRA  on  13-Feb-2020.   This means that  your  relevant  period  is  13-Feb2020  to  12-May-2020.    Your assessment  period  begins  on  the  8th  of  each  month.  This  means your LCWRA  award will  begin  to  be  paid  in  the  assessment  period  08-Jun-2020  to  07-Jul-2020.    I  have  also  reviewed  the  exceptions  to  the  relevant  period,  under regulation  28  of  Universal Credit Regulations  2013,  and  found  that  none  of  these  apply  to  your circumstances The  law  used to make  this  decision'. Does this mean i am due a backdated payment from the 8th June 2020? 
Help appreciated :smile:

    It means you are due LCWRA from the assessment  period  08-Jun-2020  to  07-Jul-2020 which would have been paid on 14th July and for each payment thereafter.

    I'm glad @calcotti was able to help with your query @ngray. Fingers crossed you're not kept waiting too long for your backpay!
