Look for work. And doesn t have to put anymore fit notes in off gp.     His wondering if he ll have to wait.  The 14 weeks. Before he receives.  The. First  payment.  Of lcwra.      And.

    Hi,

    There's a 3 month waiting period starting from when he sent his first fit note. This means that he'll receive backdated money from the 4th complete assessment period. How many months that will be will depend on what date he sent his first fit note and when his assessment period is. He should receive details on his journal.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
