Hi @westham,
Thank you for your comment and welcome to the community
I'm unsure about your question, but one of our members might be able to help and provide support. However, in the meantime, it might be worthwhile speaking to a staff member from the universal credit system to enquire about your lack of payment. Please see below some information about the universal credit helpline and you can always do this through your online universal credit account too:
I will also move your comment into our Universal Credit (UC) category, in the hope that others will see your comment and respond.
If you have any other questions in the meantime, please just let us know.

Hi and welcome to the community
Lcwra is paid from the 4th full assessment period after reporting the condition and providing fit note
So depending on your assessment dates I aluld expect Sept to Oct , Oct to nov and Nov to Dec to be waiting periods and first payment to be in Jan -

You said you claimed at the end of June. What date exactly?
Was August 27th the date you told UC about your health condition?Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK. -
Hi calcotti, think it was June 25 as first payment was 25 July provided first fit note 27 Aug my health assessment decision was 18 Nov also my assessment period is the 18th to 19th following monthly thanks

If you reported your health condition on the same date you provided your fit note then the 3 month waiting period will be Sept/Oct, Oct/Nov, Nov/Dec... LCWRA starts from 19th December to 18th January, with first payment being 25th January.
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. -
Thank you poppy123456, when you say reporting health condition is that not just the same as supplying fit not or would I have to specifically report said condition
-
You should report your health condition on your journal by "reporting a change of circumstances" then you need to provide a fit note within 7 days.

I never reported condition I just supplied 3 month fit note then process started an had health assessment at no time was I advised to report change of circumstances even after being declared lcwra also no longer required to provide fit notes
-
The usual process is to report your health condition and then provide the fit note. As you provided the fit note then hopefully your waiting period starts from when you reported the fit note and first payment will be January 25th.If you don't receive the LCWRA element on your next statement then leave a message on your journal to tell them the date you reported the fit note.The above advice is providing there isn't already the LCWRA element on your claim from a partner because you can only receive one per claim.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please.
