    When is your UC assessment period please, or the date you usually get your payment?

    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.

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

    September/October: AP 1

    October/November: AP2

    November/December: AP 3

    December/January: Eligible for LCWRA element.

    16th January: 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.
