    Hi,

    If you're given LCWRA then it's paid from the 4th month of your claim starting from when you sent in your first fit note.

    If you're given LCW then your money will stay the same.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Hi @smithd,

    The extra amount for being placed in the LCWRA group is currently £336.20 per month.
    I hope you get a positive outcome from the assessment, let us know how you get on.
