Hi and welcome to the community
Back pay is made as a separate payment and they will need to calculate your payment this can take a while
You should be paid from the 4th assessment period after you reported the medical condition -
thank you very much for your help on this it helped a lot so i could wait up to a few months yet before i get any back date pay i take it i get confussed with all this stuff just thankful i got awarded thats what matters mostly.

HI,If you've been found to have LCWRA then there's a 3 full month assessment period waiting time. The extra money is then paid from the 4 month of your claim starting from when you first reported your health condition. Whether they owe you any money will totally depend on those exact dates.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
