    Although the LCWRA status is backdated to when you reported your health condition the extra money (the LCWRA element) is only payable for the fourth complete payment period after you reported the health condition. You will therefore not be entitled to the LCWRA element until your payment in September or October depending on what dates of the month your UC periods cover.
