    What date do you usually receive your money each month? 

    There's a full 3 month assessment period waiting time. The extra money is then paid from the 4th month after you provided your first fit note, with payment made at the end of that 4th month. 

    It's not paid at all during the waiting period.

    My payment date is the 19th of each month.

    Thanks. That means that your waiting period is Dec/Jan, Jan/Feb, Feb/March.. LCWRA starts from 13th March to 12th April and first payment will be 19th April. This means up to now they owe you 1 months LCWRA element. 

    Money owed is paid separately to your usual monthly money and often takes quite a few weeks to pay it. If you've had your statement for this month was the LCWRA element included in that for this month?

    Yes so, I recieved the statement today and it's the first one with the LCWRA element applied. So will there be that 1 month payed separately, apologies I'm terrible with working this all out you are such a huge help.

    Apologies again I see you stated that it is payed separately. Should I receive some form notification about it in my journal?

    They will need to recalculate your statements before they pay what is owed. Once this is done you will receive a letter on your journal telling you how much is owed and it will then be paid into your bank.
