Providing you sent a fit note within 7 days of that and continued to send them the whole time without any gaps until a decision was made on your WCA.If you reported your health condition on the same day you claimed UC and sent a fit note within 7 days of that then your waiting period will be Aug/Sept, Sept/Oct, Oct/Nov... LCWRA starts from AP 16th Nov to 15th Dec and your first payment will be 22nd Dec.Any money owed will be paid separately to your usual monthly money and can often take a few weeks to pay what is owed.phila67 said:It’s also been 11 weeks since I had a dwp medical at home to claim Idb benefit
Can't advise about timescales for this because we have very few members that post about this. If you are successfully awarded this then it will affect your UC and reduce it £1 for £1. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/sick-or-disabled-people-and-carers/getting-benefits-if-you-got-ill-or-were-injured-at-work/
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. -
I claimed uc on the 16/08/22 and had already been signed unfit fir work two weeks before that so I told them from day one I had a disability and showed the fit note in day one
-

I’ve worked all of my life am now 55 and not got a clue what I can or cannot claim
-
To claim New style ESA it will depend on your NI contributions in tax years 2020/21 and 2021/22. As advised, it will be deducted in full from your UC entitlement but because it's not means tested then it's worth claiming if you're entitled. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/new-style-employment-and-support-allowance (providing you're not claiming SSP from an employer)

My ni contribute are up to date been self employed for about four years was diagnosed with prescribed disease in 2014/2015 but kept on working

As far as PIP goes, have a look at the activities/descriptors that are used first: https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/asset-library/personal-independence-payment-descriptors-and-scores-april-2022.pdfYou can start a claim for PIP here: https://www.gov.uk/pip/how-to-claimPIP is not about any diagnoses, but rather how your disability affects certain activities of daily living &/mobility & whether you can do any applicable activity 'reliably,' i.e. safely, to an acceptable standard, repeat as often as one would reasonably expect, or if it takes you much longer than someone without a disability. See this mentioned at the end of the link above.Please come back with any questions.
-
Thank you for all of your help and advice I’ll look into it tomorrow but for now am off to try get some sleep thanks again
-
Sorry just a quick one the pip form seems very similar to the uc 50 form tbh I’ll have no problems passing that also can you not claim pip online thanks again
-
PIP and LCWRA are completely different with totally different criteria. For PIP you need to score at least 8 points in either and/or daily living and mobility to have a standard award. At least 12 points needed in either of those for Enhanced.Being awarded LCWRA has no affect on a PIP claim.You need to phone PIP to claim (see link chiarieds has posted above) they may ask if you want to apply online but it's not offered to everyone. If they don't then you'll be sent the PIP2 form in the post to fill in and return.You will likely need an assessment as most people have them. They are mostly done by telephone.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.

Whilst there are similarities, I believe there's a bit more to the PIP claim form, which you can see here: https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/Documents/Advice (public)/PIP2 form January 2021.pdfSome people have been given an email link to complete their PIP claim form online, but I'm not sure this is always an option. One problem members have identified is that they can't return to it to amend it, so the usual way is still perhaps preferable, & useful if you want to keep a copy of the paperwork you've completed, for your assessment for example.

Hello again I’ve got a letter saying the following does sound correct thanks
-
Also my mum has lost 69 pound a week off her pension credit because I moved in with her she was told if I have a disability she can get it back
is lcwra classed as a disability thanks -
The letter is correct. It's the money they owe you for the LCWRA element. They've recalculated your past statements to calculate how much you have been paid against what you should have been paid. The difference between the two is what they owe you.. £1062.84.phila67 said:Also my mum has lost 69 pound a week off her pension credit because I moved in with her she was told if I have a disability she can get it back
is lcwra classed as a disability thanksIf you're eventually awarded daily living PIP she will then be entitled to the SDP if there's no other adults living with you (unless they also claim a qualifying disability benefit or they are registered blind.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please.
