Hi DrKiera
Universal Credit is worked out on a calander monthly basis. it is calculated for each month 'assessment period' the first assessment period will normally be the month beginning with the first day that you were entitled to Universal Credit; subsequently monthly assessment period will follow for as long as you remain entitled to Universal Credit.
The LCWRA amount can only be included in your award in the monthly assessment period following on from the waiting period.
