Unsure of UC backdated amount?

As regards the UC claim and reporting health conditions. Logging the health issues is part of the UC claim process. However, where a claimant has already had a WCA as part of ESA, this recording the conditions as part of the UC claim will not be treated as a request for a reassessment unless explicitly requested (otherwise all claimants transferring would end up being reassessed which would be hugely disadvantageous to claimants). An ESA WRAG claimant will therefore be treated as having LCW and a ESA Support Group claimant will be treated as having LCWRA.
My opinion is that UC were correct to treat him as having LCW and then to treat the later submission as a change of circumstances/request for reassessment. If you have managed to get a decision which brings the LCWRA forward you have done well to achieve this.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK. -
Okay many thamks for all of your help and information, it's very helpful. I have put the message about them removing the lcw rate at start of claim on the journal and I will let you know the final results when it happens. Thanks so much again

Quick update, I have recieved the letter from the tribunal now. It states there:
The appeal is allowed
The decision of secretary of state on 18/08/2020 is set aside
The appellant is entitled to uc with the LCWRA component
-
If that is from 18/08/2020 then the LCWRA element should be payable from that assessment period.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

so im assuming that i was correct in thinking that he would get the LCWRA from start of his claim in august
