    Providing there were no gaps in your fit notes until a decision was made then your waiting period will be…

    Oct to Jan… LCWRA starts from Assessment Period 3rd Jan to 2nd Feb and first payment will be 9th Feb. This means up to now they owe you 2 months LCWRA element.

    My advice assumes you’re not claiming UC with a partner that already receives the LCWRA element on your claim.

    thank you yes that makes more sense than some of the things I’ve read. No I’m not claiming with a partner just myself .. and thank you Hannah ☺️
