LCWRA PAYMENTS

mrsC78

I went onto uc in june after my husband died, i got a fit note for 6 months which i told them about they never asked for copy of it until august but accepted my word in june. I had health assesment 3 weeks ago over the phone abd with my anxiety depression and ptsd they have just informed me today i have been put in LWCRA group..my question is would the 3-4 month wait (not sure exact wait) start from june or august?

If you reported your health condition when you first claimed UC in June and you provided details of your fit note within 7 days of that then this will be when the waiting period starts from. 

Your first payment will be either Oct or Nov 2023. 

The exact date will depend on what dates your assessment periods cover or what date you usually receive your money each month and what date you reported your health condition/provided details of your first fit note.
