    Your waiting period will be Sept/Oct, Oct/Nov, Nov/Dec.. LCWRA starts from assessment period 14th Dec to 13th Jan and first payment for the LCWRA element will be 20th January 2024. No LCWRA element is owed.

    If you or a partner were receiving any earnings since you reported your health condition and you didn't previously have the work allowance then you will be owed some money from that.
