Hello, first time posting. I applied for help when i had to transfer to UC. I was sent out forms to fill out about my day (i have MS) i had a telephone assessment and i received a note in my journal telling me i had been awarded lcwra and i didnt need to put any fit notes forward. I understand there is a 3 months waiting period. My contact at UC said my application was added to my claim from the 15th of January. It will be exactly four months on Friday. When can i expect to receive my first payment? Also does this get paid at the same time as UC? I havent had any info on payment dates or amounts other than the lcwra decision.
Many thanks

Thanks so much for getting back to me. I think it will be June as i checked my payments (got UC to split my payment to every fortnight) and its not coming up anything different for May.
Thank you

Hi @vickyloux2. Can I just ask, what benefits were you claiming before you transferred to UC and what prompted the move over?
I'm not asking to be nosey, I'm checking you weren't previously on ESA and that they haven't missed any transitional benefits you may be entitled to.Community Manager

@tonybailey
The 3 month waiting period is from when you first reported your medical condition
So presuming you have had anazsessment and been awarded lcwra if you reported on 3rd Feb then Feb-mar, Mar -apr and Apr -may are waiting periodx so June would be first payment -
