    Just had a message they have included my first LCWRA payment on my new statement.  I asked about the back pay I and they said it’s with a case manager and they will let me know via my journal.

    8 mths long term sick, receiving pip since Jan 
    LCWRA awarded and back paid today
    Now they want to review my UC. Sent everything in bank statements, ID and everything else. Tel call on Friday for review appt.  I feel like every week there’s something else to worry about. 
  • With having to send in ID, bank statements, the review I expect is a fraud check, rather than a medical one.
    For what period did they request your bank statements for?

    Managed to deleted my last post by mistake.
    If you have declared everything you needed too, then you should have nothing to worry about.

    Great:)
    As correctly advised the back pay of UC is disregarded for 12 months, so if that has taken you over £6k make sure they understand this.
