Yes you'll be entitled to LCWRA from the start of your UC claim. It can take a few weeks for ESA to confirm your status with UC, this is usually done in time for your first payment.

Your first UC payment will be 5 weeks after you apply. The payment statement will be available on your online account (known as the Journal) 4-6 days before your payment date.

After applying you'll receive one final payment of ESA, known as the run on payment. This will be around 2 weeks after claiming UC, and might not be for the full amount.

that’s brilliant thankyou Kimi87.. that eases alittle bit of worry!!

is it correct that standard single person uc is £383 per month and LCWRA is an additional £426 per month ??

Kimi87

Currently standard allowance (Single) is £393.45 & LCWRA £416.19.

April 7th they are £400.14 & £423.47

If you claim before then the rise won't happen until your second monthly payment.
