Hello, my name is Thomas, i have been on universal credit since January 2021, ever since the beginning of my claim i have been giving in sick notes to the job centre, i have recently had a note on my journal to say i have been accepted for LCWRA, but i am wondering when i will receive my first payment, and also if i am entitled to any backdated pay since i have been on a sick note for almost 12 months, i have tried to read up on it but it says i'ts payable after the 4th assessment period, which i don't really understand, any help will be appreciated, thanks

There's a 3 full month assessment period waiting time and the extra money is paid from the 4th month of your claim, starting from when you first reported your health condition. Providing you're not claiming UC with a partner that already has the LCWRA element on your claim.This means that the extra money will be paid from either May or June depending on the exact dates of your assessment periods and when you reported the health condition. It can sometimes take a few weeks for them to recalculate all your past statements to work out how much they owe you.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.

Mine took a whole year to get it through… I think that’s because they didn’t actually tell me that I was meant to be getting anything extra.. so no one even processed it.. I hope it is much sooner for you
