Lcwra has a waiting period of three full assessment periods before LCWRA is added to your payment.

No money is paid or subsequently owed for that period.

Did you previously receive Transitional Protection before the LCWRA award?

If the answer is yes, I suggest you get advice from a trained benefits advisor as I suspect the following issue has occured

Transitional Protection reducing when your UC award goes up is normal, but you shouldn't end up worse off overall, unless you've been impacted by that issue.
