How long for LCWRA back payment ?

Hi
I was awarded LCWRA on 4th Feb 25 .
Starting From 10/05/24 and with 3 months waiting time payments should start from 28/8/24 as you can see .So i should be owed 6 months back pay by my calculations 7 if they don't pay in March .
My question is do i have to ask for the back payment as i have seen a few post say i have to ask for it and some posts saying they pay it within a few days of receiving LCWRA . I have heard nothing at the moment since i was awarded LCWRA .
Thank you in advance

If backpay is owed you don't need to ask for it.
It will be calculated and paid automatically but that usually takes at least a few weeks.
You'll know when this has been done as a letter will be added to your Journal stating the amount owed.
The money will then be paid into your bank account a few working days later.
The amount you receive will be excluded from calculating your capital for one year.
