    Hi,

    That depends on the exact dates of your payment periods as well as the fit note date.

    Assuming your payment period starts after 14th June then the 3 months will be June/July, July/August and August/September. LCWRA will be included on the 4th payment period, September/October and will be in the bank a week after the end of that payment period, so likely to be the end of October.

    Hi @Sugersweets, Looks like OverlyAnxious has you well on the way to working out when your payment might come, but I just wanted to say a quick hello and welcome you to the community 😊

    Hope your payment comes through smoothly.
