    Hi Connor,

    LCWRA has a waiting period of three full assessment periods, from when you handed in your first Fit Note. No money is owed or paid for this waiting period.

    A few questions to help correctly advise:

    What was the date you handed in your first Fit Note?

    Any gaps in providing the Fit Notes?

    Your UC assessment period or payment dates.

    I don’t know if I am getting paid from the work capability assessment but I should because it says if your single you get it and something else and I qualify for that but just says I don’t need to provide for notes or look for work but nothing about me getting paid

    LCWRA has a waiting period of three full assessment periods, from the date the first Fit Note was handed in. No money is paid or subsequently owed for that period.

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

    September/October: AP 1

    October/November: AP 2

    November/December: AP 3

    December/January : Eligible for LCWRA element.

    1st February: First LCWRA element paid*

    No money is owed in backpay.

    *If you have Transitional Protection on the claim, it will reduce by the LCWRA amount.

    *If you have Carers Element in your name on the claim, LCWRA will replace this as the same person cannot get both.

    I edited my comment as I was a month out.

    LCWRA has a waiting period of three full assessment periods. No money is paid during that period or subsequently owed.

    I don't know the reasons behind the waiting period with no payment, but that's how it works.
