    Hi @cjsiwuwuwu and welcome to the community :) I hope you're well this evening.

    I'm sorry to hear you've been waiting so long to hear more, have you contacted anyone about it recently? Or left a note on your journal?

    Yes, they will usually do an assessment and there are long waits for these. Numerous threads on the subject on this forum.

    If found to have LCWRA then there’s a full 3 month waiting period. The extra money is paid from the 4th month after you reported your health condition. It’s not paid at all during the waiting period. 
    If found to have LCW there’s no extra money.
