    Very strange for this to happen because usually any new decision made will overrule what the previous decision was.

    been waiting on my LCWRA. Handed in sick note March 12th. Was told I would get in in July along with my U/C on my journal. Checked journal just my usual money showing on my statement. Have phoned and written about this so waiting to hear back. Does anyone know that I should get it in July. Thank you

    You haven't given enough of information for me to be able to advise you. Based on the information you gave you first payment would be either July or August.

    For me to help you further I would need the answers to the following questions.

    1/ What date do you usually receive your money each month?

    2/ Did you continue to provide fit notes without any gaps until the decision was made on your WCA? Gaps in fit notes can affect when the extra money is paid from.

    Hi the date is 10th of every month I get U/C and there was no gaps. I rang the DWP as they have not read my Journal. Apparently someone will get back to me tomorrow 9th July.

    It will be 17 weeks tomorrow 9th July that I first handed in my fit note. Thank you

    That means your assessment periods are 4th to 3rd of every month.

    There’s a full 3 month assessment period waiting time and the extra money is 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. The weeks are irrelevant for UC.

    Your waiting period will be April/May, May/June, June/July.. LCWRA starts from assessment period 4th July to 3rd August and first payment is 10th August. No LCWRA element is owed.
