Hi, my name is fredthered! LCWRA Payments?

fredthered

Good afternoon. Put my 1st sicknote in on 3/2/2023. Had my assessment phone call on the 9/6/2023. On my UC journal on the 16/6/2023 it said i was awarded LCWRA. So wondering when my 1st payment will be or doi get it same time as my UC 
Thank you

LCWRA is part of UC and will be included in with your usual monthly payment. It will increase your maximum UC entitlement by £390.06/month.

Your first payment will be either June or July. The exact date will depend on what date you usually receive your money each month. It's not paid at all during the waiting period.

If you can tell me what date you usually receive your money each month i can tell you when your extra money will be paid from.

Hi poppy 123456
My normal payday is the 4th of each month. Do they include backpay too? Thanks

That means your waiting period is Jan to April.. LCWRA starts from assessment period 29th April to 28th May and first payment will be 4th June.

This means up to now they owe you 1 month LCWRA element. Money owed will be paid separately to your usual monthly money and often takes a few weeks to pay it.

You will need to check your next statement to see if the LCWRA element is included.
