    It's included in your usual monthly payment date and increases your maximum UC entitlement by £390.06/month. 

    If you can tell me the answers to the following questions i'll be able to advise if the case manager was correct.

    What date exactly did you report your health condition/provide your first fit note?

    What dates do your assessment periods cover or what date do you usually receive your money each month?

    Were they any gaps in your fit notes?
    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 didn't answer the other questions i asked here.. i can't tell you when it's paid from with you answering those questions.

    As i advised, it's inlcuded with your usual monthly money and it's not paid as a seperate payment. LCWRA is part of UC.

    There's 12 months in 2022 so i'm afraid that doesn't help me at all. Please have a look through your journal and tell me the exact date.

    When did you receive the decision letter? If it was recently there may not have been enough of time to include it this month, so they will owe you an extra month.

    Money owed is always paid seperately to your usual monthly money and very often takes quite a few weeks to pay it.
