    Hi,

    The reason given by DWP for the 3 month wait is to make sure people have a long term health condition.

    If LCWRA could be added immediately then people would be going on and off of it all the time just for having a minor illness or injury.

    Of course, it also saves the government a large amount of money…millions of pounds a year over thousands of LCWRA claimants.
