    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.

    Looking at your dates you submitted a sick note September 12th, when did you report the health condition? Exact date please.

    I need to know the date you reported the health condition on your UC Journal.

    September/October: AP 1

    October/November: AP 2

    November/December: AP 3

    December/January: Eligible for LCWRA element

    14th January: First LCWRA element paid.

    By my calculation you are owed 2 months LCWRA element.

    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.
