    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.

    September/October doesn't count because it wasn't a full assessment period.

    LCWRA element is £416.19 a month.

    Do you claim with a partner who gets LCWRA?

    Do you have Carers Element in your name?

    Do you receive any Transitional Protection on your claim?
