Lcwra. When should I get my payment?

donkdf

Hi looking for info on UC lcwra and if it should be applied before the assessment period.
I'm on pip and have been for several years receiving mobility allowance.
Should I have been placed on lcwra at onset of my claim 29th of April and submitted fit note 12th of may.
I don't recieve money until october is this correct or should it be paid sooner.
I also enquired about cost of living payments being told I don't qualify as lcwra had not been awarded until october I only receive housing element having signed for house on 23rd of june.
Due to a works pension I don't receive any payment until lcwra is paid in october.
Please advise 

Don

As advised in your previous thread it's not paid at all during the waiting period, which is 3 full assessment periods. The date you submitted your first fit note wasn't a full assessment period, so that month doesn't count. You will receive first payment in October.

For the first cost of living payment of £326, you must have been entitled to a payment of UC for an assessment period that ended between 26th April - 25th May. If you didn't receive a payment then you will not be entitled to the first payment.
