Hi! I have received my decision from DWP and been granted LCWRA, it came through on my journal this morning.

With the first fit note provided on the 29th and accepted on the 30th of June 2022, I would love to know when i can expect my first payment increase.

tried to figure it out from all of the posts on here but I cant make heads or tails of it!

my assessment period is the 22nd to the 21st. 

Thank you so much

There’s a full 3 month assessment period waiting time and the extra money is paid from the 4th month after you reported your health condition/sent fit note.
Your waiting period will be July/Aug, Aug/Sept, Sept/Oct… LCWRA starts from AP Oct 22nd to Nov 21st and first LCWRA payment will be 28th November. No LCWRA element is owed.
