Hi could anyone help please, I started receiving uc on 25th June this year my first fit note was from 11th July and I have just been awarded lcwra but I thought my 3 month period would of been june/July, july/August, august/September so thought I would get lcwra for september/October,october/november and november/December? I'm so confused!!

More information is needed to help:

When is your assessment period?

Normal payment date?

Date you were awarded LCWRA?

Hi @virgolea -& welcome to the community. If you answer Kimmy87's queries we may be able to answer yours. It depends on when you first supplied your fit note, not the date on it.

It then needs to be 3 full months before the LCWRA element is payable, then, as this is paid in arrears, it's due from your 4th assessment period & paid shortly after this.

Was 25th June the date you first submitted your claim? If so then your waiting period will be July to Oct.. LCWRA element starts from assessment period 25th Oct to 24th Nov and first payment will be in December.

This is because your first fit note on 11th July was in the middle of your first assessment period, which doesn’t count. It has to be 3 full assessment periods.
