Hi Dear.

I just need some information about my LCWRA claim.
I provide my first sick note to jobcentre in 10 feb 2020.
In end feb 2020 i received a form from UC to fill and send back in 5th March 2020 i received a letter from UC for My face to face assessment appointment on 24/03/2020.But Due to the COVID-19 they cencel that appointment.
But i still provide 2 months more sick notice to job centre.
FROM JUNE 2020 I did not got any appointments from job centre. Even not on phone.
But in November 2020 My job centre Advicer send me phone appointment in my journal.
After one month i got a letter for my Assessment.
12th December i received call for my Assessment. About my health condition.
After one week i received a message in journal that i have LCWRA reward. So you will not able for work. And you will receive extra money every month.
And will got back payment as well.
In January 2021 i just received only £343.
Till now they just give me same amount.

Please can you tell me about it thanks.

Did you provide continuous sick notes? It’s not clear.
-
Yes was provided my first sick note on 10th Feb 2020.
Then till April 2020. -
I’m no expert, but if you only provided fit notes until April 2020 and were not assessed until December 2020 then I’m sure that will cause issues. I’m sure someone who knows better will be able to answer.

Hi there
In order to get back pay you will need to have provided fit notes from when you first sent one till the date your decision was made in Dec
Any gaps in fit notes could result in arrears not being due
As you have been getting the payment since Jan I would presume you will not be getting back pay
You can query this in your journal mark it as a payment query -
To get the backdated LCWRA you should have provided continuous Fit Notes to UC until advised you no longer needed to. I would have expected UC to send you reminders through your journal. If you stopped sending in Fit Notes in June 2020 they may not pay you backdated LCWRA element.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.
