LWCRA.

Vanepipi

This is the message I've received today after checking my account and the deposit wasn't there. Can someone explain to me if I will get the awarded amount or not and when?

Hi Vanesa,

Apologies I had made an error in determining your LCWRA element.

I have taken a look at your claim in regard to the extra premium for having Limited capability for work and work related activity (LCWRA) and can advise of the following:
The decision to award LCWRA was made on 25/01/2024 this falls into the Universal credit assessment period 08/01/2024 – 07/02/2024 (this assessment period is disregarded).
Everyone who is found to have LCWRA must serve 3 assessment periods before the extra premium is paid (this is called the waiting period)
In your case the 3 assessments periods would be.
08/02/2024 – 07/03/2024
08/03/2024 – 07/04/2024
08/04/2024 – 07/05/2024
This means that from the statement 08/05/2024 – 07/06/2024  you will start to see the additional premium being paid (next month’s statement).
I hope this helps to explain how the system works.

Kind regards
