advice

hi, i’ve been told i have LCWRA and my first fit note was on the 24th of October 2024 and i get paid every 10th
i just need someone to explain very simply when i will start being paid as every thing i’ve read has been hard to understand
i’ve just got my statement and it’s not coming up there, it’s probably normal but i’m just confused and this is why im writing here :)

Your first LCWRA element is due to be paid 10th March.
No money is owed in backpay.
Please note:
If you claim with a partner who gets LCWRA themselves, no extra money will be paid for your LCWRA.
If you receive Transitional Protection, it will be reduced by the LCWRA amount.
If you receive Carers Element in your name, LCWRA will replace this.

The reason your first payment isn't until 10th March is because the waiting period is 3 full assessment periods. When you provided your first fit note on 24th October, that was in the middle of assessment period 4th Oct to 3rd Nov, which doesn't count because it's not a full month.
Therefore your waiting period is Nov to Feb… LCWRA starts from 4th Feb to 3rd March and first payment is 10th March, as kimmy advised.
