Good news. Unless you're already claiming UC with a partner that already claims the LCWRA element then you will receive an extra £354.28 per month. (slightly less before the April increase)It's paid from the 4th month of your claim starting from when you first reported your health condition. When it's paid from will totally depend on what date exactly you reported your health condition and what date your monthly assessment periods are (or what date you usually receive payment each month)0

Hi guys. On my journal somebody said that you get your first payment 3 months after award was granted ?I was under the impression it was 3 months from when I first sent fit note ?0

I agree with @Biblioklept here and they often get this wrong. It's disgusting really that they don't know their own rules.Please may i ask what date exactly you reported your health condition and the dates of your assessment periods (or when you usually recieve your usual payment each month)0

It's not possible to tell you exactly what it starts from. From the information you gave your extra money will be paid from either June or July. No money is owed, if those dates are 2022.0 -

Thank you. This means your waiting period is Feb/March, March/April, April/May. LCWRA starts from AP 8th May to June 7th and first payment is 14th June. The extra money isn’t paid at all during the waiting period.0
