Lcwra when do you get the first payment?

The LCWRA element is an extra £354/month (provided you are not claiming with a partner who is not already getting it). it’s payable for the fourth UC month after you reported the health condition. That’s likely to be January or February 2023 depending on the dates your UC month covers.

The LCWRA status itself is backdated to September and you will have a Work Allowance applied to the claim (you will already have this if you have children on the claim). If you have had any earnings or SSP since then the application of the WA will reduce the earnings deduction which would result in some arrears owed.

I was on ESA for years due to brain damage and unfortunately I went to prison for 2 months last year in January so I was changed over to this universal **** system finally after 2 cancelled appointments by them I had my call over the fone today the guy was really not helpful towards my illness and made me feel really uncomfortable, does anybody have any idea what the next steps are I.e timescale etc as I can see me already needing to appeal does why do I have to fight for what I have always been entitled too?
