    If you recieve your payment on 28th of every month then your assessment periods will be 22nd to 21st of every month, not 20th to 22nd.

    Your waiting period will be March/April, April/May, May/June.. LCWRA starts from assessment period 22nd June to 21st July and first payment will be 28th July. This means up to now they owe you 1 months LCWRA element.

    Money owed will be paid separately to your usual monthly money and often takes quite a few weeks to pay it.

    You will need to check this months statement to see if the LCWRA element is included.

    The above advice assumes you're not claiming UC with a partner that already receives the LCWRA element on your claim.
