    What date do you usually receive your money each month?

    I was awarded LWCRA last July and also claim UC…. You definitely get extra money if you're awarded LWCRA.. My payments are made on the same date as my UC payment every month..

    LCWRA has a waiting period of three full assessment periods, from the date the first Fit Note was handed in. No money is paid or subsequently owed for that period.

    July/August: Partial AP not counted for waiting period

    August/September: AP 1

    September/October: AP 2

    October/November : AP 3

    November/December :Eligible for LCWRA

    21 December: First LCWRA element paid.

    No money is owed in backpay.

    If you receive Transitional Protection on your claim, then this will reduce by the LCWRA amount which is £416.19.
