when will i get paid

Oh, i thought I had commented on this, seems like I didn’t click post comment so it wasn’t posted. Apologies.

You're waiting period is 3 full assessment periods and the extra money is then paid from the 4th month after you provided your first fit note. It's then paid at the end of that 4th month. It's not paid at all during the waiting period. Claiming PIP doesn't change that waiting period.

Did you report your health condition when you first claimed UC on 14th March? If you did then your waiting period will be March to June.. LCWRA starts from assessment period 14th June to 13th July and first payment will be 20th July. No LCWRA element is owed.

If you didn't report your health condition when you first claimed on 14th March then your first payment will be 20th August.

It shouldn’t be difficult to calculate what you’re owed. As you’re not claiming for help with the rent then your work allowance will be £673/month.

If you haven’t received anything from UC since you started your claim and the calculation says you have then you need to put a message onto your journal under the payment section and ask why they are saying you’ve received X amount of money when you haven’t.

You should also be able to both statements so the ones before they recalculated and after they recalculated because they changed it recently to show both.

Is it just the standard allowance you’re entitled to? No child elements or anything else?

About your first payment, apologies, it’s 20th August due to your fit note being provided after those 7 days, you are correct. I need to wake up 😂

Before the decision was made you would have been entitled to the standard allowance but your earnings would have reduced that to zero, assuming you're a single person.

You're not just entitled to the LCWRA element. Your UC maximum entitlement will include standard allowance (assuming single person 25+) of £393.45 and LCWRA element £416.19. Total maximum entitlement before deductions will be £809.64/month.

Your work allowance is £673/month so you can receive that much earnings before deductions apply. For every £1 over that amount your UC will reduce by 55p. (55%) For example, if your earnings that you receive are £1,000, £673 of that is ignored. £327 will be used to calculate the deductions.. £327 x 0.55 = £179.85 deduction. Deduct that from your maximum UC entitlement will be what you will receive. The higher amount will of course not apply until your August payment.

I have no idea why they are saying you were entitled to that amount and they've already paid you £550, that makes no sense. The elements from before the increase would have been less and same for the work allowance from March to April, that would have been less. I've worked out the figures for the money they owed you and that seems correct.

I can only assume that them telling you they had already paid you £550 is an error because your total for the whole period wasn't even £550 so how can they have paid you something that wasn't even there.

Wait for the explanation and see what they say.
