Your waiting period will be Sept to Dec.. LCWRA starts from assessment period 5th Dec to 4th Jan and first payment will not be until 11th January 2025. No LCWRA element is owed. Your decision was made extremely quickly.
If you or a partner were receiving earnings since you provided your first fit note and you didn't have the work allowance, you'll be owed some money from that.
Thanks for ur help.Uc staff say nov one said oct.No work allowance thank you.
Based on the information you provided above then it would not be Oct or November. The waiting period is 3 full assessment periods starting from when you provided your first fit note. It's then paid from the 4th month, with first payment being the end of that month.
Thanks its very confusing got oct statement not in oct.Many thanks
Hey there @christ I can see Poppy is already helping you out with your query, but I just wanted to stop in and say a warm welcome to the community. 😊
@Albus_Scope Thank u all this lwrca payment date stuff is confusing.
It really is @christ I'm still learning about it, so don't worry! 😅
@Albus_Scope Thanks doesnt help uc keep telling diff dates but nov seems to be the consenus
If you have access to a journal please check that to see exactly what date you provided your first fit note.
22nd august
@poppy123456 22nd august
Then my advice is correct. Full explanation as follows.
5th Aug to 4th Sept.. fit note provided in middle of this assessment period so it doesn't count.
5th Sept to 4th Oct.. 1 month
5th Oct to 4th Nov.. 2 months
5th Nov to 4th Dec.. 3 months..
LCWRA starts from assessment period 5th Dec to 4th Jan and first payment will be 11th January 2025. You are not owed any LCWRA element.
@poppy123456 Thank you
