There is a three month waiting period. From the fourth month you will start to receive the extra amount.

So I wont recive the extra money on my universal credit on the 11th may? It will be the month after?

MarkM88

I think it will be June, yes. Although I’m no UC expert.

@chiarieds might know better.

Nor am I a UC expert @MarkN88

I believe you're correct tho, as 5th - 11th Feb won't count, so 12 Feb - 11th March (1st month); 12th March - 11th April (2nd month); 12th April - 11th May (3rd month), so payment due in the 4th month on 11th June.

I’m glad you worked it out the same as me.

We can both learn about UC as we go along.

Just to add chiareds cal inaction is correct

calcotti

Payment date 11th of the month. I infer the AP is therefore 5th of month to 4th of month.
Medical condition reported on 5th February.
First month of the relevant period is 5th Feb to 4th March, second month is 5th March to 4th April, third month is 5th April to 4th May LCWRA element payable starting 5th May to 4th June which is payable on 11th June.
As advised by Mark in first instance.

Thank you for the correction @calcotti - again I will try & remember. Please note, I wasn't trying to correct Mark, whom I thought had already answered correctly.

The bit to remember is that the payment date is a week after the end of the assessment period.
