    You waiting period is as follows.. April/May/June.. LCWRA starts from 1st July to 30th July and first payment will be 5th August. No LCWRA element is owed.

    Hi @Tingley, welcome to the community! 😁 I don't think I can answer any better than Poppy has, but let us know if you do have anymore questions about LCWRA, or anything else disability-related!

    This question relates to your other thread here.

    https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/118587/lcwra

    You can comment on threads when asking questions rather than start a new thread. To comment on threads look where is says "leave a comment" type your comment into the box below that and then click "post comment"

    The reason why it's in August is because you provided your first fit note in the middle of your assessment period which doesn't count. It has to be 3 full assessment periods. The LCWRA element then starts from the 4th month after that with first payment being the end of that month. UC is paid 1 month in arrears.
