Your waiting period will be Sept/Oct, Oct/Nov, Nov/Dec... LCWRA starts from assessment period 17th Dec to 16th January and first payment will be 23rd January 2024. No LCWRA element is owed.

Your decision was made extremely quickly which is why you now have to wait for the payments to start, known as the "waiting period"

There's a full 3 month assessment period waiting time. The extra money is paid from the 4th month, with payment at the end of that month. Based on the limited information you gave your first payment is potentially either Feb or March 2024.

When it's paid from exactly will depend on what date you provided your first fit note.

October 19th my first fit note an ap period is 31st to 30th of each month I had my assessment on the 12/1/24 an was awarded it 22/1/24 it just confuses me as am new to this

That means your waiting period will be Oct to Jan… LCWRA starts from 31st Jan to 30th Feb and first payment would be 6th Feb. No LCWRA element is owed.

You will need to check your next statement to make sure the element is included.

Please note, my advice assumes you’re not claiming UC with a partner that already receives this element on your claim.
