Hello I'm new here .I'm a mother of 2 children single . I get universal credit and enhanced rate care component of pip for daily living. I was off sick from work from from 24th Oct 2023 they sent a form out to a wrong address because me and my children were homeless in hotels .

I received sick pay from work until April they only pay up to 6 months standard sick pay I also received uc from Oct 1st I have just had a work capability assessment recently November 2024.

NNow today i received a letter in my journal saying I've been awarded lwcra and it will be paid 3 months after my sick notes started to be handed in.i have provided fit notes from 24th October until now no gaps .

When will I be paid and what do you think I'll be entitled to.

The accepted the reason for not receiving uc50 form so just gave me a phone call . Can you help me understand all this

    Your waiting period will be Nov, Dec, Jan.. LCWRA starts from 1st Feb to 29th Feb and first payment will be March 2024.

    Money owed will be paid as a separate payment and often takes quite a few weeks to pay it. Once your past statements have been recalculated you'll receive a letter on your journal telling you how much they owe.

    LCWRA element now is £419.16/month. Before the April increase is was about £390/month. You'll be owed a mixture of both.
