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.

My estimate of your waiting period:

February/March: Partial Assessment Period, not included for waiting period

March/April AP 1

April/May AP 2

May/June AP 3

June/July Eligible for LCWRA element

July 20th First LCWRA element paid.
