ellispag1

hi can someone help me as dwp are useless. I was awarded lcwra on the 20th of September, my UC payments are on the 9th, i submitted my medical evidence on the 9th of July I know there is a 3 month wait period, I worked it out to be November or December I get paid it was November so it should be December right? Can anyone help me thank you

LCWRA has a waiting period of three full assessment periods, from the date the first Fit Note was handed in.

July/August : Partial AP, excluded from waiting period.

August/September: AP 1

September/October: AP2

October/November: AP 3

November/December: Eligible for LCWRA element.

A few more questions:

Do you have Transitional Protection or Carers Element on your claim?

Do you claim UC with a partner? If yes, do they get LCWRA?

no I don’t claim with anyone or receive another element can you just help me and tell me whether it’ll be December I get paid?

From my calculation it should be December.

The reason I asked those questions is depending on your answers, you might not have received any/much extra money.

As you are single and don't get TP or carers element, then your payment will go up by the LCWRA element which is £416.19.
