Hi, I first claimed Uc at the start of feb 2021 I declared my first fit note on the 8th feb 21, 27th April 21 I had a note in my journal saying I’ve been placed in the LCWRA group, can anybody please tell me when they think I’ll receive the higher amount and if it will be back dated to the 8th feb. My statements run from around the 2nd of every month and I usually get paid around the 9th. Thanks so much.

    You get the LCWRA element included from your 4th payment which will be the one due on 9th June.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    Hi 

    Just to add on you won't get any back pay as there is no payment for the first 3 assessment periods
