    Did you report a change that triggered the re assessment, or did the DWP just send you a form?

    That seems to me like a reported change.

    If that's the case, you will be entitled to backpay from the assessment period that February 20th occurred.

    Money owed is paid as a separate payment and can take several weeks for the DWP to process and pay.

    The LCWRA element should be added in your next statement for your normal payment date.
