LCWRA

Hi looking for some advice, i received a letter stating i was being awarded LCWRA from 08 June 2021 from when i first told DWP about my medical condition, which i indeed did, but looking back, this line was backdated for 8 weeks to 08/04/2021, when i first seen the doctor about my condition.

my question is this, do you get awarded LCWRA from the date you informed the DWP (ie 08/06/2021) as they have done, or should i have been awarded this back to (08/04/2021) to when i was first seen by the doctor and given an 8 week line, this could mean that the DWP could owe me a further two back payments

Any advice would be well appreciated

Hi Lincoln

Unfortunately to the best of my knowledge payments are only backdated to the date of the claim.

If anyone else knows different for LCWRA in particular please respond.

Pete

The date i informed UC was 06/06/2021, but it was an 8 week line dated from 08/04/2021 when i first seen the doctor, UC awarded me it from 06/06/2021
