Hello @yasmin61

I wanted to wish you a warm welcome to the community, I hope you are well   

We have many users who have lived experience of LCWRA and other aspects of UC, and we have a category dedicated to it which you can find here.  I have moved your thread over tot he category, and edited the title a bit so that others know what your thread is about.

 

I hope to see you getting involved more around the community. This is a very supportive and welcoming site to be a part of so I’m hopeful that you’ll find it to be a positive outlet. Feel free to have a look around and get involved wherever you’d like 😊 A few notable pages I’d recommend visiting would be:

• The virtual coffee lounge which is one of our categories, in which we play games and talk about general subjects such as hobbies and interests
• The recent discussions page, which shows an overview of everything happening across the community
• The categories page, which shows a full list of discussion groups on the community

If you have any questions at all then don’t hesitate to ask.

Hi and welcome to the community 

We need a bit more info in order to advise 

When did you report your condition , did you provide fit note within 7 days 9f reporting and what are your assessment period dates or date you get paid 

From the limited info the earliest would be Sept payment 
As may , June   July would be waiting periods and Aug would be first period of entitlement which will be paid in Sept payment

Then Janer is correct. Your waiting period will be April/May, May/June, June/July.. LCWRA starts from assessment period 26th July to 25th August and first payment will be September 1st.

No because it's not paid at all during the waiting period. First payment is as advised above.
