    Hi,

    There's a full 3 month assessment period waiting time. It's then paid from the 4th month of your claim. When it's paid from will depend on exactly what date you reported your health condition.

    Sounds as if you should have have had the LCWRA element in this month's payment. Post a payment query in your journal.
    Payment of arrears will be separate and can take a while to process.
