    You should get the LCWRA element included in your next payment.

    Any arrears due need to be calculated before you can be paid. The arrears payment will come separately. Leave it a couple of weeks before chasing it.

    Your old UC statements will be overwritten with new ones so you may wish to take copies of the old ones now.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    Hi @Eafs1985 thanks for your post, I've just moved it over into our Universal Credit category so it's easier to find.

    Is there anything you're still unsure of, or has calcotti helped reassure you?
