LCWRA - Backdated payment entitlement? was created by Martin68

Hi there

I've just recently (19/11/25) been upgraded to the LCWRA group. The ESA50 form was returned to the DWP about 17/18 months prior to their decision to upgrade. Yes, I used to be on ESA but was forced to migrate to UC in July 2025.

I'm wondering whether I'm entitled to a backdated payment starting from the date they received my completed ESA50 form? By my reckoning that would be totalling close to an extra £4000 which would come in extremely helpful to say the least.

I apologise in advance if I've posted in the incorrect place but I'm a virgin poster so please be gentle with me.

Thankyou so much for all the hard work you do. It has helped me out enormously in the past.

Kindest regards

Martin

Hi Martin68

It is important to know who instigated your last WCA resulting in the change from LCW to LCWRA. DId you yourself request the ESA50 by reporting a worsening health condition or did you undergo a DWP organised review? Also are there any " severe conditions " involved?
