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

September/October: Partial AP, excluded from waiting period.

October/November: AP 1

November/December: AP2

December/January: AP 3

January/February: Eligible for LCWRA element.

3rd March: First LCWRA element paid*

No money is owed in backpay.

*If you have Transitional Protection on the claim, it will reduce by the LCWRA amount.

*If you have Carers Element in your name on the claim, LCWRA will replace this as the same person cannot get both.

*If you have a partner on your claim who gets LCWRA, no money will be paid as within a couple the maximum number of LCWRA elements is 1.
