    There's a 3 full month assessment period waiting time and the extra money is then paid from the 4th month of your claim. (it's not paid at all during the waiting period).
    If the first day of your assessment period is 1st then your AP is 1st-30th of each month.
    If you reported your health condition on the same date you sent your fit note then it was reported in the July assessment period. Therefore your waiting period would be August/Sept/October... LCWRA starts from AP 1st-30th November with first payment being 7th December, which means they owe you 2 months money.
    This advice is assuming you're not claiming UC with a partner that already receives the LCWRA element on the claim.

    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.

    It often takes a few weeks to pay any money that’s owed. They first have to recalculate your past statements so they can work out exactly how much they owe you.
