    Your first payment will be either Sept or Oct.

    The exact date will depend on what date exactly you reported your health condition and what date you usually receive your money each month.

    Hi @Leonids123, welcome to the community :)

    If you have anymore questions about LCWRA we have a category just for those! https://forum.scope.org.uk/categories/universal-credit 

    Can I ask, is your name related to the meteor shower? I love being able to go see the Leonids,  always so cold in November though.

    Im going to add to this, for me if my paydate falls on a weekend(or bank holiday), it comes on the Friday.

    The same applies to everyone claiming UC. This is because benefits payments are never on weekends. 

    The reason i didn't mention it is because it doesn't happen very often. For my daughters UC her payment has only fallen on a weekend once this year.
