    As Poppy advised you due to the gap in providing Fit Notes, this impacts when the DWP will start the waiting period for LCWRA element to be paid.

    We won't know when they will do that here, add a note on your Journal (under Payment) and say due to the gap in Fit Notes you can't calculate your waiting period and would like them to advise you.

    Your only other option is to wait and see each month if the LCWRA element has been added onto your statements.

    @FranCiscO123, do you think your GP would write you a fit note backdated to when the last one ended, covering the period between your last fit note and the decision on your LCWRA? It isn't ideal and won't guarantee they backdate, it will be for a decision maker to decide, but it may help.

    Hello someone got back to me on my journal.

    "Lcwra has been awarded on the 15/1/25. Unfortunately there is a full 3 assessment period wait before this element can be paid. This means your first payment inclusive of this element will be on 8/06/25"... πŸ‘€πŸ‘€ all the way in June 😌

    The wait for LCWRA is 3 full assessment periods. The first AP is usually excluded if it isn't a full AP.

    If I've got your AP correct (2nd to 1st).

    Jan/Feb: excluded from the waiting period as not a full AP

    Feb/Mar: AP1

    Mar/Apr: AP2

    Apr/May: AP3

    May/Jun: Eligible for LCWRA element.

    8th June: First LCWRA element paid.
