edited December 2022 in Universal Credit (UC)
Hi I have recently been awarded LCWRA on the 14th of December 2022. I have been submitting my fit notes since 21 September 2022 and my UC payment dates are on the second of each month. Does anyone have any idea when I can expect to receive my LCWRA payment and could you inform me if this will be paid along side my UC payment. Only reason for asking is I have just received my UC statement for 26th November to 25th of December and there is no LCWRA payment included.
Kindest regards
Ikaufy

    There's a full 3 month assessment period waiting time and the extra money is paid from the 4th month after you first reported your health condition/sent your first fit note. It's not paid at all during the waiting period.
    Based on the information you gave your waiting period will be Sept to December... LCWRA starts from assessment period 26th Dec to 25th January and first payment will be 2nd Feb 2023.
    The LCWRA element increases your maximum monthly entitlement by £354.28 and will be included in your  monthly payment because LCWRA is part of UC.


    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Thanks so much for explaining that, I thought that might of been the case but wasn't sure. Hopefully 2 Feb I'll have the increase in my statement it will definitely come in handy NGL
