    Hello @mand2269, what kind of thing do you need advice about? 

    We have lots of helpful members and I'm sure they'll be able to share some wisdom with you. Just to mention, if you need to post pictures of your statements please make sure you cover any identifiable information like your full name or contact details :) Just let us know how we can help.

    You can post the statement but please make sure that all your personal details such as name, NI number are all removed.

    I also note that you're claiming New style ESA so this amount should be deducted in full from any UC entitlement.

    standard allowance 368.74, housing 337.79 they will pay 53.18 to my housing association, minus 54.98 for spare bedroom deduction, 561.17 deduction for esa new style contribution, 31.06 advance payment deduction & 24.25 deduction for debt recovery. So nil award for uc , however I was awarded lcrwa last Monday but that’s not on my statement. Hope this helps .

    For the LCWRA element, there's a 3 full month assessment period waiting time. When exactly did you start claiming UC?

    Assessment periods (AP) last for 30 days. Your AP will be 15th to 14th of every month. The assessment period they look at for the CoL payment will be 15th August to 14th Sept so if you were entitled to a payment for 21st September then you're entitled to the £300.

    For the LCWRA element you should receive the first payment in your next statement. This is because UC is paid 1 month in arrears. Please check your next statement when you receive it to make sure it's included.
