HI,Great news. How much back dated money you're owed will depend on a couple of things. Was this your first work capability assessment? If so then there's a 3 full month assessment period waiting time. Then the extra money is paid from the 4th month of your claim.Whats' the dates of your assessment periods or if you don't know what's the date you usually receive your monthly payments? What date exactly did you originally report your health condition and did you send a fit note within 7 days of reporting the health condition?Sorry there's so many questions but no one can help you without this extra information.

That will depend on whether it was your first work capability assessment. Or whether you already had LCW and this was a review started by DWP or you reported a wosening of condition.
