On receiving my decision that I had been awarded lcwra I wanted to ask from my circumstances when the first payment would be. I only handed my first fit note in on the 8th March and my payments are made on the 27th of each month. I have just had my payment forcast for the 27th of June and there is no extra payment. Does anyone know how the dates work. Thank you

27th July will be the first payment to include the LCWRA element.0

Thank you calcotti . How it's worked out is really weird.0

I have been in touch with them since May last year , stopped getting SSP in October when I was made unemployed and only in March did they tell me I needed a fit note. Could have been sorted ages ago. And then having to wait so long after my decision. The benefits system for when you need genuine help seems to be against you whichever way you turn.0

Really frustrating @clairemells8. As you say, if you had known, you could have done something about it a long time ago. How are things for you at the moment? I hope you are ok and things are well but we are here for you if you need anything0

What biblioklept means here is that if your assessment period (AP) is 18th to 17th of each month and you didn't send your first fit note until 25th of Jan, which would be in Jan/Feb AP, that monmth doesn't count because you sent the fit note in the middle of the AP. It's needs to be 3 full APs.Your waiting period would be Feb to May. LCWRA starts from AP May 18th to June 17th and first payment would be 24th June.0
