JQ76

Hi. I was approved for not capable for work and work related activity on the 30th of December 2024. I submitted my first fit not in September 2024 does anyone know when I'll get my first 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.

We will need a bit more information before we can advise correctly.

The date you reported health condition and the date you handed in your first Fit Note.

Were there any gaps in handing in your Fit Notes, any backdated ones?

Your UC assessment period dates or payment date.

Do you have Transitional Protection, or Carers Element in your name?

Do you claim UC with a partner who gets LCWRA themselves?

I declared health condition on the 3rd of October 2024 and submitted first fit note on same date. There are no gaps my current assessment period is 09/12/24-08/12/25 I do not have TP or carers element. And I do not claim with partner just claim UC for myself
