    Your waiting period will be Dec/Jan, Jan/Feb, Feb/March... LCWRA starts from AP 29th March to 28th April and first payment will be 5th May. 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 that.
