Lcwra - when will I receive my first payment?

Yes, that's ok.

You can try making a formal complaint about

A) the incorrect advice

B) not getting paid your LCWRA element

https://makeacomplaint.dwp.gov.uk/

What was the date you handed in your first fit note? It should be noted in your journal

There were no gaps between submitting sick notes

And what is your payment date each month?

So that looks correct

-Remember also UC is paid in arrears

So the relevant period-the months youbdont get paid for are

You award period ends bin the 12th of every month and we call it 3 assessment periods but it's actually 14 weeks

SO

10th september-11th October is your payment for 13th august-12th September -you fit not only covers the last 2 weeks of this period

You relevant period is

11th October-10th November

11th November-10th December

11th December-10th Jan

So you are entitled to payment from 11th Jan 2025

As UC is paid in arrears you will be paid for this period on February 11th which covers the period 11th january-10thth February

Hope that makes sense

No. My first assesment period was September/Ocrober

2nd October /November

3rd November/ December

These are 3 full assessment periods after submitting my first fit note.

This is not correct, the waiting period is not 14 weeks. It's 3 FULL assessment periods. @joannal has already been advised by Kimmy and myself that their waiting period is  Sept/Oct, Oct/Nov, Nov/Dec… LCWRA starts from assessment period 11th Dec to 10th Jan and first payment will be 17th Jan 2025. 

Thanks, what legal act is this from?

If you want the UC regulations 2013 you can find what you're looking for here. It's the same as the ADM but often the regulations are more difficult to understand.
