Hi, my name is Arceus77! when will first LCWRA payment be ?

Arceus77

hello I’m new to ask a question
when will my first LCWRA payment be.

I handed in fit note 8th march 2024

Fit note accepted on journal on 13th march 2024

Posted questionnaire on the 18th march 2024

I was awarded LCWRA on 21st May 2024

my medical evidence was strong enough that I did not need any phone call assessment or meeting assessment.

I will not be receiving any back date payment as it states in letter.

when will first LCWRA payment be ?
i get paid my UC on 26th of every month

thank you.

Your waiting period will be March/April, April/May, May/June… LCWRA starts from assessment period 20th June to 19th July and first payment will be 26th July.

You're welcome. LCWRA is part of UC and it will increase your UC payments by £416.19/month. Your total UC amount from July will be £809.64/month. PIP isn't part of UC and continues as normal.
