    Your waiting period will be May/June/July.. LCWRA starts from 1st August to 31st August and first payment will be 7th September. No LCWRA element is owed.

    That’s because it’s not due to be paid until 7th September, which is your first payment. I did advise that in my first comment. (Please have another read)

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

    It’s paid from the 4th month but because UC is paid 1 month in arrears you don’t receive that payment until the end of that month.
