LCWRA. Will I get 9 months back pay? Will I receive my first payment with my normal UC payment?

There's a full 3 month assessment period waiting time and the extra money is paid from the 4th month after you reported your health condition.

Without knowing the dates of your assessment periods or when you usually receive payment each month then it's not possible to tell you when exactly it's paid from.

Based on the limited information you've given then it will be from either Dec/Jan. It often takes a few weeks to pay what they owe you. They first have to recalculate your past statements to work out what you should have been paid and what you've already been paid. You will then receive the difference between the two.

When your statements have been recalculated they will be replaced by the new ones so if you want to keep those statements then you need to take screenshots.

Once this is done you'll receive a letter on your journal telling you how much they owe. It will then be paid into your bank. Money owed is paid separatly to your usual monthly money.

The above advice is assuming you're not claiming UC with a partner that already receives the LCWRA element on your claim.
