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.

    Welcome to the community @eemia75 :) I hope that poppy123456's comment has cleared that up for you! Please do let us know if there's anything you're still unsure about.

    Well done on getting LCWRA. How did you find the process?
