You've posted on a thread that's 2 years old. LCWRA is part of UC and increases your maximum UC entitlement by £390.06/month, your usual pay date will remain unchanged.

When it's paid from exactly will depend on the answers to these 2 questions.

What date exactly did you report your health condition/send your first fit note?

What date exactly do you receive your money each month?

Hi @tinybop67! Welcome to the community

I just split this thread into it's own, you posted in a very old thread and I want to make sure people know it's now you that needs the help and advice!

@Jimm_Scope thank you for splitting this into a thread of its own. It does make it easier to advise.
