in Universal Credit (UC)

Got put on lcwra 5 weeks after my assessment, I was 90% sure I would with the assessment lasting 11 minutes and saying she had enough information so didn't need to go into my other health conditions and she was a nice lady and give me some advice on my condition which helped… I was on ESA when I applied to go in the support group, but on universal credit when i got put in the lcwra group, so do you think i will have to wait for 3 month before i get the extra money ?

    As you already had LCW there is no waiting period when moving from LCW to LCWRA.

    You are first eligible for LCWRA element payment in the Assessment Period in which the decision was made.
