Hi I have a little concern about my LCRWA.
I first provided my fit note on 5th May 23, had my health assessment on 12th Sep and decision was made to award me LCRWA on 25th Sep. My UC pay date is 11th of every month.
Can someone help me, when I will start receiving my new pay and if I will receive any back pay.

    Your waiting period will be May/June, June/July, July/August... LCWRA starts from assessment period 5th August to 4th Sept and first payment will be 11th Sept. This means 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 need to check your next statement to make sure the LCWRA element is included. This advice assumes you're not claiming UC with a partner that already receives the LCWRA element on your claim.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
