Lcwra. Will I have to wait 3 months for my payment?

Hi all
i had my assessment on Wednesday for lcw and today and an uc message that I have got lcwra and don’t have to look for work. I’ve asked about the payment but they said it will be 3 months? I sent my first fit note in the beginning of may. My uc payment date is 9th of every month. Wondering if anyone has some knowledge on if I have to wait another 3 months?

Depending on exactly what date in May you reported the health condition the LCWRA element should be included from the payment in September or October.

Thank you
5th of may was the first fit note. I’ve already had Septembers payment so hopefully I’ll get it in Octobers

So you reported a few days into the May to June period. That means the three months wait is June to September. LCWRA payable for September to October payable in October. If it isn’t included when the statement is produced you should post a query as a payment message in your UC journal.
