    You need to be found to have LCWRA to be entitled to the extra money each month. Based on the information you gave your waiting period will be Sept to Dec 2022. LCWRA starts from assessment period 16th Dec to 15th Jan and first payment would be 22nd Jan 2023.
    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.
