in Universal Credit (UC)
Hi everyone 

Happy (slightly belated) New Year to you all 😊

One of my daughters is turning 25 this year (end of June) I did not realise that the LCWRA element is paid at a higher rate from the age of 25, can anyone tell me if my daughter be paid this higher rate from July or August or will it likely be later than that? and do I need to put a note in her journal reminding UC closer to her birthday?
Thank you

    Hi @Biblioklept
    Thanks for your reply.. 

    And yes, of course my mistake!
    I'm not sure of the actual assessment period dates, but I know her payment date is on the 18th and she turns 25 after this on the 28th.
    Good to know it's an automatic increase too.. 😊

    If you're daughter receives her UC on the 18th, then her assessment period will be the 12th -11th each month. Happy New year to you too @Luna51 :)
