I knew I wouldn't get the increased amount last month but assumed it would be at least this month but LCWRA rate has stayed the same. So has the standard allowance but my housing has gone up

Assessment period : 6 April to 5 May 2024 - Payment due to the 12th but will be the 10th this week

    You are the one of the unlucky ones. As your assessment start date is 6 April and the changes start on 8 April, you won't see the increase until your 12 June payment.

    Or to put it clearly,  the first to see the increase are those with assessment starting from 8 April.

    Indeed but some people do not know what assessment periods are, which is why I added 14th May.
