    There's no extra money for Limited capability for work. (LCW) You will only be entitled to extra money if found to have Limited Capability For work Related Activity. (LCW) Please check the decision letter again to see exactly what it says.

    First payment will be either May or June. The exact date will depend on what date you usually receive your money each month.

    The 13 weeks doesn’t apply to UC, that’s for ESA. 

    If this was your first WCA then there’s a full 3 month assessment period waiting time and the extra money is paid from the 4th month, with first payment being the end of that month. 

    Your waiting period will be Jan/Feb, Feb/March, March/April… LCWRA element starts from AP 25th April to 24th May and first payment will be 1st June. No LCWRA element is owed.

    The decision was made very quickly.
