LCWRA is part of UC and increases your maximum UC entitlement by £390.06/month, your usual pay date will remain unchanged.When it's paid from exactly will depend on the answers to these 2 questions.What date exactly did you report your health condition/send your first fit note?What date exactly do you receive your money each month?I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

@Jimm_Scope thank you for splitting this into a thread of its own. It does make it easier to advise.
