    If 29th April was the same date she reported her health condition then her waiting period will be as follows.

    May/June, June/July, July/August.. LCWRA starts from assessment period 26th Aug to 25th Sept and first payment will be 1st October. This means up to now they owe her 2 months LCWRA element.

    Money owed will be paid as a separate payment and often takes quite a few weeks to pay it.
