    This means your waiting period is Dec/Jan, Jan/Feb, Feb/March.. LCWRA first payment will be April 2022. This means up to now they owe you 2 months LCWRA element. 
    Any money owed will be paid separately to your usual monthly payment. 
    The above advice is assuming you’re not claiming UC with a partner that already receives LCWRA element on your claim.

    Hi and welcome 

    It all depends when you reported the medical condition 

    Payment is due from the 4th full assessment period after you reported the condition and submitted fit note within 7 days
