Hi there 

If you have been awarded lcwra there is a 3 month waiting period from when you reported the condition 

So dependant on actual date you reported and your payment assessment dates you need 3 full pay periods and will be paid on the 4th 

So roughly it could be June or July for your first payment

Hi @mummyof2girls

Just to advise, I've tweaked your post title to help others know what it's about (incase they ever have the same question) and I've moved it to our Universal Credit category.  

Please let us know if you ever have any other questions.  Have a great Saturday too
