    Your waiting period will be March/April, April/May, May/June.. LCWRA starts from assessment period 30 June to 29th July and first payment will be 5th August. No LCWRA element is owed. This is because it’s not paid at all during the waiting period.

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

    Please note my advice assumes there were no gaps in your fit notes until a decision was made.

    Hey there @Maggie51 and welcome to the community.

    I can see Poppy has already helped you out here, but I just wanted to stop in and say a quick hello. Getting the LCWRA award must be a huge relief!
