    Heya @hayzh3 and a big welcome to the community!  Congratulations on your award. :)

    I'm afraid I cant give a definite answer as I'm still learning about LCWRA, but I believe you will receive your award on the 4th month after handing in your first sick note?  I'm sure a regular will correct me shortly. ;)

    Hi @hayzh3 - & welcome to the community. There's a 3 full month period before the LCWRA element is paid. This is then due from your assessment period 22 Nov -21 Dec. As this is paid in arrears, you will get this extra element paid on 28 Dec. This presuming you don't live with a partner that already claims LCWRA.
