Hi,If awarded LCWRA then yes the payment will be added to your UC amount. I see from another thread that you didn't send your first fit note until December https://community.scope.org.uk/discussion/68669/uc-lcwra-assessment#latestIf you are awarded LCWRA then the extra money isn't paid until the 4th month of your claim because there's a full 3 month assessment period waiting time. When it will be paid from will depend on your assessment period dates.If you've now had the work capability assessment then wait a week and ring DWP to request a copy of the report. This will give you some idea what the decision is likely to be because they mostly go with the report. If you need help to understand it then please post back here and someone will help you further.
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. -

You're welcome, based on that information then if you're awarded LCWRA then you won't receive your first payment until April because the first month you sent it doesn't count because the waiting period is 3 full assessment periods. Then it's paid on the 4th month.

You're very welcome. Yes the benefit system isn't easy to understand and UC is even worse. Hopefully you won't be waiting too long for the decision. Good luck.
