Hello @Iambryan123 and thanks for reaching out, I'm not sure of the answer on this, have you asked about the payment dates on your journal at all?

The extra money will be paid from either April or May depending on the dates you usually receive your money each month.

Hi.i get my payment on the 4th of the month.thanks

That means your waiting period will be Dec to March.. LCWRA starts from assessment period March/April and first payment will be May 4th. This means they owe you 1 months LCWRA element. Assuming there were no gaps in your fit notes and you're not claiming UC with a partner that already receives the LCWRA element on your claim.
