Hello All,
I'm looking for some help in understanding a Universal credit situation please. Me and my wife have been claiming UC from January 25th 2018 to present, and from that date I have been providing a drs line without a break. I have just had an assessment for my health condition (16.04.2021), and have found out today that I have been told I am in the LCWAWRA, if thats right?.
I keep seeing things about "Back Pay", and I wonder if I may get any?. The assessment wasn't done for myself when we signed up to UC and was only picked up on late last year. As I said I have provided Sick lines from day one without a break.
Any help in understanding this would be greatly appreciated as I am very confused and anxious about it?.
Thank You.

Hi and welcome
You should be paid the lcwra additional payment from the 4th assessment period after you reported your medical condition
So roughly not knowing all your dates from July 2018 which will be a lot of backpay roughly 10k
You may have to challenge this as they may say that you should have chased it up
Watch out for a letter in your journal saying when award starts from

I never knew that I had to have an assessment from day one, but expecting a fight no doubt. They like to get money back from you but never the other way round, even if you are due it. Thanks.
