HI and welcome,It will depend what the decision is. If it's LCWRA then you will receive an extra £336 per month. When it's paid from will depend when you sent your first fit note and what dates your assessment periods are because there's a 3 full month waiting period. LCWRA is then paid from the 4th month of your claim.If the decision is LCW or fit for work then you won't receive any extra money each month.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 all.just a quick update regarding my health assessment.the decision they made was LC For work.
Many thanks -
Great news, thanks for letting us know. Do be aware though that if the decision is just Limited capability for work, then you won't receive any extra money each month.

Hi poppy.in my decision it highlights I may get extra money.do I just ignore that?
-
That's part of a standard letter and applies to those that claimed before April 2017 only.You would need to have been found to have limited capability for work and work related activity (LCWRA) to receive any extra money.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please.

I was getting child tax credit in 2017.do the consider this. Thanks

As you're now claiming UC then tax credits no longer exist for you. If you have dependent children that are still in full time non advanced education then you should be receiving the child element of UC. If they are 19 years old or above then you won't receive any child element.
