It can take several weeks for the DWP to calculate and pay what you are owed.

Hopefully going forwards the LCWRA element will be added to your next statement.

I see from a previous thread that you stopped sending fit notes from 16th July 2024 but you should have continued to send them without any gaps until they made a decision on your work capability assessment. Gaps can affect when the extra money is paid from.

I see that you provided a fit note which was back dated but it will be down to a decision maker to make the final decision on whether to accept that. Most often they do not.

What date exactly did you provide your first fit note?

what date do you usually receive your money each month?

3rd of may and the 9th of every month

That means if a decision maker accepts the backdated fit note for that gap then your waiting period will be as follows…

May to Aug.. LCWRA starts from assessment period 3rd Aug to 2nd Sept and first payment will be 9th Sept. This means up to now they owe you 2 months.

If they don't accept that gap then the waiting period will start from when you provided the fit note that was backdated. This would mean that no LCWRA element is owed.

I'd advise you to put a message onto your journal and ask about the LCWRA element.
