I won the case against dwp with tribunal for LCWRA, in January I’ve received my first payment, but it’s been 2months I’m curious if they will back date because I haven’t received any letter or anything on my journal, any advice

Thanks you

    LCWRA has a waiting period of three full assessment periods, from the date the first Fit Note was handed in. No money is paid or subsequently owed for that period.

    This still applies with a Tribunal win.

    What date did you report the health condition?

    What date was your first Fit Note?

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

    What is your UC assessment period or payment date?

    Did you receive any paperwork following the tribunal win, stating the date you were entitled to LCWRA from?

    yes I have received the paperwork from tribunal and it just says the payment should be at the level and for the time period written in the decision notice. So I won on 7th of January and received the first payment on the 5th of February £416

    Then there should be some backdate owed. I'm not sure how much though.
