    I got response from DWP. She just copied and pasted message that she sent yesterday. This is going nowhere. What shall I do next? Who is above DWP or is there a organisation that they are afraid of?

    You can try making a formal complaint about

    A) the incorrect advice

    B) not getting paid your LCWRA element

    Request the Mandatory Reconsideration (MR) on the decision not to start the waiting period from the date you provided your first fit note. This can be done on your journal but make sure you include the letters MR.

    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

    2024. My assessment period is from 11th to 10th. I get paid on 17th

    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.

    Where can I find legislation for LCWRA? Legal acts etc?

    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?

  • poppy123456

    It's the ADM which applies to UC.

  • poppy123456

    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.

    No, your assessment periods starts the day you get paid each month and is for the previous month

    So your 1st assessment period starts on11th september-10th October, but that is your payment for August 11th-september 10th

    You Fit note was handed in on 30th August- so only covers 9 days of that assessment period, (september 1st-10th) so it doesn't count as it is not three fullnassessment periods

    So your first full assessment periods is The following one which means

    1st AP- October 11th to november 10th

    2nd AP november 11th-december 10th

    3rd AP

    December 11th-10th january

    They are you 3 full assessment periods-(which i mentioned earlier the relevant period is actually 14 weeks)

    You are correct in that you are entitled to payment from Januart, but you are paid in arrears so your payment for January 11th to February 10th on February 11th

    Hope that explain it better x
