It will either be April or May. The exact date will depend on what date you usually receive your money each month.

The waiting period is 3 full assessment periods. (AP) It then starts from the 4th month, with first payment being the end of that month because UC is paid 1 month in arrears.

If your payment is on 20th of every month that means your assessment periods are 14th to 13th of every month. Therefore your waiting period is as follows..

Nov/Dec... doesn't count because you provided your ft note after that start of that assessment period. It has to be 3 full APs.

Dec/Jan, Jan/Feb, Feb/March... LCWRA starts from 14th March to 13th April and first payment will be 20th April. No LCWRA element is owed.

If you or a partner were receiving earnings since you provided your first fit note and you didn't previously have the work allowance then you will be owed some money for this.

Please note, my advice assumes you're not claiming UC with a partner that already receives the LCWRA element on your claim and there were no gaps in your fit notes.

Hi I am unfamiliar with the Benefit system It was my work coach who advised me I started getting UC In September 2023 and she said in November to send a fit note and to expect a letter from LCWRA and return forms by 9 December fit note was from 17 November to 18 February I had letter from them on 13 February saying it had been awarded and I don't need to send any more fit notes its quite confusing
