Hi, when do I receive my first lwrca payment?
I was granted lwrca on the 28/9/24 when I receive my first payment and am I entitled to back pay as I don’t have a partner and had no extra money coming in except universal credit

LCWRA is not paid until three full assessment periods have passed, so depending on your dates backpay might not be owed.
In order to help we will need to know the following:
The date you handed in your Fit Note
Were there any gaps in your Fit Notes?
The date you were awarded LCWRA
Your assessment period dates

What date do you usually receive your money each month?

Hey @_JJL, welcome to the Scope community 🙂
As you've already been informed LCWRA isn't paid until three assessment periods have passed. If we know what date you usually receive your money we can figure out when your first payment will be, as you've already given us when your first sick note was.
Just going to move this over to our UC category

I receive my payments on the 18th of every month is that easier to calculate it ??

That means your assessment periods are 10th to 9th of every month. If 16th June was the same date you reported your health condition then your waiting period will be as follows.
July/Aug, Aug/Sept, Sept/Oct.. LCWRA starts from 10th Oct to 9th November and first payment will be 16th November. No LCWRA element is owed.
If you or a partner were receiving earnings since you provided your first fit note and you didn't have the work allowance prior to this decision being made then you'll be owed some money from that.

Thanks. That means your waiting period will be March/April, April/May, May/June.. LCWRA starts from 7th June to 6th July and first payment will be 13th July.
This is assuming there were no gaps in your fit notes up until a decision was made on your WCA.
Money owed will be paid separately to your usual monthly money and often takes quite a few weeks to pay it.
