Hey there @superjax and welcome to the community!
Congratulations on your LCWRA award, I bet that's a huge relief?
Can I just ask, were your sick notes all handed in with no gaps?0 -
Yes thy was all handed in0

Good stuff, thanks.
So there's a three month payment cycle wait between applying and your first payment. So it'd arrive in your account on the fourth month.
As you handed your first fit note in a day after the November cycle, the three month wait would start with Decembers cycle I believe? so Dec, Jan, Feb, then first payment March 8th I believe?
I'm sure one of our super smart regulars will be able to clarify?0 -
AHH thank you for your help will update you if I receive it next month. you have a good day x0

Hi @superjax - & welcome from me also. Based on what you've said, there's 3 full months waiting period (Dec - Jan, Jan - Feb, & Feb - Mar), before the extra LCWRA element is paid. It's therefore due for your assessment period 2 March - 1 April, but, as this is paid in arrears, then you'll get your 1st payment on 8 April. This so long as you're not living with a partner who already claims the LCWRA element.

Good stuff, glad to be of help.
If you wanted to stick around and chat to some like-minded folk, or play some games, I'd recommend our coffee lounge and games rooms.0 -

Does it tell you on your statement for this month that it's included?0 -
Yes it does say and it was begining of November my first sick note0

In your first comment you said it was 9th November. Either way, you’re not owed any LCWRA element.0
