What date exactly did you report your health condition/send your first fit note?
What date do you usually receive your money each month?

That means your waiting period will be May/June, June/July, July/Aug… LCWRA starts from assessment period August 10th to Sept 9th and first payment would be Sept 16th. 

This means they owe you 3 months LCWRA element. Money owed will be paid separately to your usual monthly amount and can take a few weeks to pay what is owed.
The above advice is assuming you’re not claiming UC with a partner that already claims the LCWRA element in your claim.

It should be included in your next statement. The money owed before paying you they need to recaluclate your past statements to work out how much they owe you. Once this is done you'll receive a letter on your journal telling you how much they owe and it will then be paid into your bank.
