As you already had LCW there’s no waiting period. The extra money will be from the assessment period in which the decision was made.
What date do you usually receive your money each month?

Assessment is 6/5 and get paid 12th of every month

Then your first payment will be AP 6th July to 5th August and first payment will be 12th August.
You don't need to do anything at the moment because it's not the end of your AP yet. When you receive your statement please check It to make sure the element is included. If it isn't then put a message onto your journal under the payment section and tell them.

Hi
I would like to know how long need to wait for the resolution...I know is around 3 months....but should I keep to handle sick notes until the resolution?

What resolution? Fit notes are no longer needed, it will tell you that on the decision letter.

Hi
It's my first assessment due my long term condition, my coach send me the form uc50. Was sent to the department of pensions. I am in the group focused interview. In meantime due my condition aggravated for a injury at work, I am off of work and a sick note was provided to my journal account.
The question is and because I don't feel I am fite to work... so is required to send sick note....
Thank you

Apologies, I didn’t realise you were a different person. This is why starting your own thread is advised because it does get confusing when asking on someone else’s thread.
You need to continue to provide fit notes without any gaps until a decision is made on your work capability assessment.

Hi
I have a pertinent question, regarding the lwc assessment, if is failed the assessment process, I will need to handle the fit note to my employer and the UC because I will continue dealing with my condition.
I am not able to return to work and will need to send fit note to my employer, after 3 months my sick note is running out as well.
How is my situation with my employer, cause I still have a contract with my employer and need to send the sick note.
What I know so far , that is not reasonable to give notice, so I should wait for my employer to dismiss me ..is that makes sense?
How is my situation with the universal credit regarding my sick note which continues to be directed to the UC.
Thank you 😊

As I advised you on another thread very recently, your UC claim and your employer are completely different. For UC once a decision is made on your work capability assessment, regardless of what that decision is you will no longer need to provide fit notes. In the meantime until that decision is made you must continue to provide fit notes until the decision is made.
For your employer, yes you need to continue to provide fit notes. I can't tell you whether you should hand your notice in because I don't know anything about your employment contract and for this you should get some expert advice and use the link I provided to contact ACAS. Link here.

Thank you for your message.
But if I continue to send a fit note to my employer... automatically is received by the work department and universal credit.... right....both services will received.
Thank you

Hello @lidia, I'm not sure I have understood your question. Until a decision is made about your LCW or LCWRA you need to keep giving UC your fit notes. Your work will also need to see them too.

Hello...
Yes ...I know that...the question is after the decision.....my employer need to receive the sick note....and what's happens regarding the UC..the service will know my situation...or is necessary to send a message to my journal account all the situation in time?
Thank you

Hi

Thank you

No, your employer doesn't automatically send them to Universal Credit. You need to send them separately to your employer and UC.

Oh I think I see what you're saying. After UC make their decision, you don't need to give them fit notes any more but you continue giving them to your employer. Giving your fit notes to your employer won't have any impact on your UC @lidia.

UC and your employer are completely separate. For UC you will be referred for a work capability assessment and receive the UC50 form, which you'll need to fill in and return with all your information. Any extra evidence you have should be sent with the form when you return it.
