A question about back payments

The waiting period is 3 full assessment periods. LCWRA is then paid from the 4th month after you provided your first fit note. First payment is then at the end of that 4th month. It's not paid at all during the waiting period.

You haven't given enough of information for me to advise when it's paid from exactly. I'd need the answer to the following questions.

1/ What date exactly did you provide your first fit note?

2/ What date do you usually receive your money each month?

LCWRA is an ongoing award until a new decision says otherwise. The 12 months you were awarded is irrelevant because it doesn't just end after those 12 months.

Now you have LCWRA no further appointments will be needed and this will continue for as long as you have LCWRA. You will be reviewed sometime in the future but when that will be is anyone's guess.

Your waiting period will be Oct/Nov, Nov/Dec. Dec/Jan… LCWRA starts from 19th Jan to 18th Feb and first payment would be 25th Feb 2023.

Before they can pay what is owed they will need to recalculate your past statements to work out how much money you've already received, against what you should have received. You will then be paid the difference between the two. Once this is done you'll receive a letter on your journal telling you how much is owed and it will be paid into your bank. It will be paid separately to your usual monthly money. Please also note that the LCWRA element will be 3 different rates… 2022/23, 2023/24 and 2024/25.

That was an extremely long process.

As long as there were no gaps from the time you provided your first fit note up until a decision was made originally in 2023 then you'll be fine. No further fit notes are needed after that decision was made anyway.

I'm also assuming you didn't report any changes after that decision was made in 2023 so had no further work capability assessment?
