    LCWRA has a waiting period of three full assessment periods, from the date the first Fit Note was handed in.

    July/August : Partial AP, excluded from waiting period.

    August/September: AP 1

    September/October: AP2

    October/November: AP 3

    November/December: Eligible for LCWRA element.

    A few more questions:

    Do you have Transitional Protection or Carers Element on your claim?

    Do you claim UC with a partner? If yes, do they get LCWRA?

    From my calculation it should be December.

    The reason I asked those questions is depending on your answers, you might not have received any/much extra money.

    As you are single and don't get TP or carers element, then your payment will go up by the LCWRA element which is £416.19.
