LWCRA Payments

[Starflowerblue32]

I've posted in AIBU as really not sure where to post this.

I have been very unwell the last few months and have been diagnosed with a long term health condition. I made a claim as advised to by my gp and job center for LWCRA.

I had my assessment & I received a letter through my online universal credit journal informing me I am entitled to LWCRA. ( friday just gone 28th may )

I have noticed this has not been included in my next uc payment statement which is due to be paid friday 7th june.

Does anyone know how this works please as I am very confused, the letter doesnt have any information about payments just that the decision has been made & I've been found to have LWCRA.

Here are my dates:

Reported health change 21st February 2024

Sick notes from these periods:

Feb 21st - March 21st
March 21st - April 21st
April 21st - May 21st
May 21st - June 21st

Please can someone explain all of this to me & when I should expect to get paid ?

Thank you :)

Why don’t you just call them?

Hello , I have tried this morning but I couldn't get through, very frustrating

Phone to clarify, but I think it's 3 full payments from when sick note first supplied to lwcra payments.

Ask on your journal.

They're usually pretty quick to respond.

It.may be that the decision didn't fall in an assessment period so you may get a follow up letter to say when it'll start.

You get it with your fourth full payment after handing in sick notes

Thank u for all of your replies
I have just spoken to them and they said I now need to wait for another letter to tell me when I will get paid.
They couldnt give me any idea of when I will recieve that letter.
