LCWRA bavkoay and carers element

hi so I’ve received my first lcwra payment this month but have lost my care element for my daughter. Am I still entitled to the back pay

It is correct that LCWRA has replaced Carers Element as the same person cannot get both.

Not everyone gets backpay for LCWRA, if the decision is made within the waiting period.

The waiting period for LCWRA element is three full assessment periods from the date of your first Fit Note, assuming they were provided with no gaps, none that were backdated etc.

No money is paid or subsequently owed for that period.

first note handed in September had assessment November and got awarded lcwra then had first payment jan

That's quite a quick decision so it's unlikely you are owed any backpay.

What date did you report the health condition?

What date was your first Fit Note given to UC?

Were there any gaps in handing in Fit Notes, any that were backdated etc?

Your UC assessment period or payment date?

ok thank you I thought so just my coach said I would get back pay from my first note

Unfortunately the work coaches don't know the ins and outs of UC, and often give out incorrect advice.
