LCWRA help???

Hi, I feel like I’m going out of my mind trying to figure out when the first LCWRA element of universal credit is paid into your account. Everywhere online seems to be saying different things so I would appreciate any answers. I will detail everything below.
I sent off my questionnaire with evidence on the 5th October 2020 and they confirmed they got it that week.
I was told on the 9th December 2020 that I have been placed in to the LCWRA element of universal credit.
my assessment period is from the 12th - 11th of each month and I am paid on the 18th of each month.
when will I actually receive the extra amount as my most recent pay (Jan 18) it wasn’t included. Will it be included in my February pay?

When did you start your UC claim and when did you send in your first fit note ?
In order for me to work it out I need specific start date of your fit note as this will let me know if your assessment period in sept counts or not as the whole assessment period must be covered by fit note
So for sept to count your fit note needs to be dated before 12th sept
If it is then
12th sept to 11th oct month 1
12th oct to 11th nov month 2
12th nov to 11th dec month 3
11th dec to 12th jan first payment should commence paid on 15th jan
However as decision was made close to xmas it may not have been updated in time for cut off
So you should see it in feb and will get jan backdated
If fit note was dated after 12th sept will all move on another month
Hope this makes sense
As @janer1967 said, depending on the exact date you reported your first fit note would mean it should either be in your January payment or February payment that your LCWRA should begin.
