    After the confusion on your other threads and you said you actually had the decision and were found to have LCWRA no further fit notes are needed. Although you should receive a decision letter in the post because you don’t have access to a journal.

    You don’t need to attend any appointments or look for work.

    I gave you advice regarding when to expect first payment of the LCWRA element on your previous thread. This was my reply…

    Your waiting period will be Jan/Feb, Feb/March, March/April.. LCWRA starts from assessment period 17th April to 16th May and first payment will be 23rd May. Any money owed to you will be paid as a separate payment and often takes quite a few weeks to pay it.

    You're welcome. Please don't worry, you're not a pain at all. I'm always happy to advise where I can. There was some confusion at the start but we got there in the end. 😊
