What date do you usually receive your money each month?

28th

That means your waiting period is March/April, April/May, May/June.. LCWRA starts from assessment period 22nd June to 21st July and first payment will be 28th July. This means up to now they owe you 1 months LCWRA element for last month.

Money owed will be paid as a separate payment and often takes quite a few weeks to pay it. Once your statement has been recalculated you will receive a letter on your journal telling you how much they owe and the money will be paid into your bank.

Check your next statement to make sure this months LCWRA element is included.

Please note, my advice assumes you're not claiming UC with a partner that already receives this element on your claim.
