    In a previous comment you said you usually receive your payment on 1st of each month is that correct?
    If so then as advised your waiting period will be August to November. The LCWRA element starts from Nov to Dec assessment period and first payment would be 1st January.
    We can only advise based on the information you give.

    You reported your fit note in July to August assessment period, which doesn’t count because you reported in the middle of the assessment period. It has to be 3 full assessment periods.
    Your waiting period is as previously advised here.
     your waiting period will be August to November. The LCWRA element starts from Nov to Dec assessment period and first payment would be 1st January.

    That means they owe you 1 extra month. 
    As advised by Calcotti put a message on your journal under the payment section and tell them your first payment should be January and not February.

    It isn't clear what you are asking. If she is claiming UC herself and has declared that she cares for you then she will receive extra extra money in her UC for looking after you (unless she is already getting lCWRA herself).

    Carers element will increase her maximum UC entitlement by £168.81/month. I'm assuming you're claiming a qualifying disability benefit benefit such as PIP daily living or DLA mid/high rate care?
    Your LCWRA award will not entitle your sister to claim carers element.

    Then your sister will not be able to claim carers element for looking after you.
