Lcwra - when will I receive my first payment?

Yet again, your advice is incorrect. Please have a read through the thread and find the correct information that has already been given.

Let me explain again.. Their first fit note was provided on 30th August… Their assessment periods are 11th to 10th of the month. This means their waiting period is as follows…

11th Aug to 10th Sept… first fit note provided on 30th August.. this month doesn't count because fit note was provided in the middle of the assessment period.

11th Sept to 10th Oct.. 1 month

11th Oct to 10th Nov … 2 months.

11th Nov to 10th Dec.. 3 months..

LCWRA starts from assessment period 11th Dec to 10th January and first payment will be 17th January.

Please be careful of the information you're giving because you've been advised a few times that it's incorrect and you're still coming back with incorrect information.

I hope this helps explain it in more detail.

I am not incorrect. If there is one thing i understand it is this.

The waiting period CANNOT start on 11th August if the fit note wasnt handed in until the 30th. It doesn't start until AFTER the fit note was handed in, and it has to be a FULL assessment period which is why the august september period does not count.

Ok tell you what

Go to benefitsandwork.co.uk and ask them question in the UC forum and you will get the correct answer which incant guarantee will be the correct information

And it is more than 14 weeks

I didn't advise that the waiting period started on 11th August. I said it starts from 11th September. Sorry but you clearly don't understand this because your advice is not correct.

Try doing your waiting period calculation again because you've started it from 11th Oct to 10th November, which isn't correct.

Fit note was provided on 30th August.. therefore the waiting period starts from 11th Sept to 10th Oct and NOT 11th Oct to 10th November. In your calculation you've missed a month's AP.

That's great news! Although I'm very surprised they paid you from June 2024 because you said your first fit note wasn't provided until 30th August 2024.

Please don't worry about sending me those letters, that wasn't what I was asking of you. I'm very happy that they changed the decision and you got there in the end!

I'm very happy I was able to help, I'm a very persistent person, when I know I'm right. I hope that you'll now be able to relax a little. Thank you also for coming back with an update, it's very much appreciated because not everyone does that.

Yes, I do, I have a fair amount of knowledge about most benefits.

It should be based on how your conditions affect you on the majority of days, which is at least 50% of the days in a 12 month period.
