Hi, my name is jmr53! Does anyone know when I'd receive first payment ?

jmr53

Hi I'm new I was wandering if someone can help me please. I have had an health assessment and been awarded lwcra. I'm new to uc and find it confusing. I have given 2 fit notes

22nd April till 22nd June

22nd June till 22nd August

Does anyone know when I'd receive first payment ?

I thought it would be August

It would likely be either Aug or Sept. The exact date will depend on what date you usually receive your money each month.

jmr53

Thank you I've just received August UC so I guess it'll be September

What date do you usually receive your money each month? you didn't answer that question.

jmr53

Sorry 25th

If 22nd April was the same date you reported your health condition then your waiting period will be as follows..

May/June, June/July, July/August.. LCWRA starts from 19th August to 18th Sept and first payment will be 25th September. No LCWRA element is owed.

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.
