Won a LCWRA tribunal - Back payment help was created by Fen
Hi all,
Some good news after months of battling with the DWP.
I found out that I won at tribunal and am now entitled to the LCWRA award.
On my UC journal I can see that they will now pay me the LCWRA entitlement.
I've read a lot of this forum about back dated payments so I wondered if anyone had any advice on this? Is this something I will need to ask for? Do you get a letter from the DWP stating a back payment? How does it work?
Thanks in advance and for all the help you do as a charity. If it wasn't for all your documents and advice I'm not sure where I would have got too.

Hi Fen
Welcome to the forum.
You might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is; www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/guides-for-claimants/faq/forum.
Now that you are found to have (or can be treated as having) a limited capability for work and work related activities, then the LCWRA Element should be included in the first Monthly Assessment Period after the end of their ‘relevant period’.
The ‘relevant period’ is a 3 month period which starts when the claimant first provides medical evidence to the DWP (including self-certification). The DWP should then take the claimant through the Work Capability Assessment (WCA).
Although the WCA process often takes longer than 3 months, the LCWRA Element should nonetheless be included in the claimant’s UC award from the first Monthly Assessment Period after the end of their ‘relevant period’ regardless of how long the process has taken and even if the claimant goes to appeal.
