Back payment for lcwra thank you.

Hi and welcome to the community

My calculation based on the date given would be 

August to September and September to October and October to November would be the waiting period 

First payment would be Dec 2020



You will probably be paid the extra element in your July payment but back pay will be paid separately and can take a while before paid 

You should get 7 months back pay but be aware the rate will be different for payments owed from before Apr 

But as approx you should get around 2.4 k 

They will recover the advance from your arrears payment but at least it will be paid off 

Keep checking your old statements as once they have calculated the back pay old statements will change to show new amount 

At least then they have done the calculations and then it will need authorising and then paid

So had my statement today and lcwra has been awarded this month but still not heard about money owed to me. Is it normal to be waiting more than 7days to hear something from them ? Kind regards 

I think it must be normal at the moment for them , I waited anxiously for around 3 weeks before ringing and got no where really with an answer, I then contacted the local CAB office and a nice lady rang on my behalf and then I had my award letter for the backpayment and amount posted to my journal afterwards. Not to sure how long it will take for them to authorise the backpayment and send it once you get your backpayment award letter ,I've had to wait a week so far I imagine it will be a week or two more yet it doesn't seem like a very fast process
