    Now you're in LCWRA you won't have a work coach and this isn't something a work coach can look at. 
    You need to put it under 'payments' or 'services issues'. Let us know how you get on. :)

    The LCWRA element is payable for the fourth complete assessment period after you first reported your health condition supported by a Fit N1ote. Depending on your assessment period dates this will be from your payment in April or May 2020.
    That being the case, when the award is given, do you still have to wait 3 assessment periods to start being paid despite the 3 month wait already being served. If not when should it be paid?

    As advised the 3 month wait is from when you reported the health condition, not from when the decision is made. of it has taken longer than 3 months to make the decision then arrears will be due. As also advised i my last reply, in your case that would appear to from April or May depending on your assessment dates.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.
