    You haven't provided enough of information for me to be able to advise you. I'll need to know the answer to the following questions.

    What date exactly did you reported your health condition/provide your first fit note?
    Is 5th of every month when you usually receive your payment?

    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.

    You can check on your journal the exact date for the first fit note.

    Based on the information you gave your waiting period will be May/June, June/July, July/August.. LCWRA starts from assessment period 30th August to 29th September and first payment will be 5th October so they owe you 1 months LCWRA element for this month.

    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.
