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.

Assuming there were no gaps with handing in Fit Notes, none that were backdated etc:

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.

22nd February: First LCWRA element paid*

If it's not on your next statement then 1 months LCWRA element will be owed.

Money owed will be calculated separately and this usually takes several weeks at least. You'll know this has been done when a letter is added to your Journal confirming the amount they owe you.

You'll then receive the money into your bank account several working days later.

*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.
