Hi all
Thanks for accepting me. 
I've received a lwcra decision and my first fit note was 3 Oct 2022.
Do they pay from the assessment or first fit note?
Thanks everyone

    There's a full 3 month assessment period waiting time and the extra money is paid from the 4th month after you reported your health condition/sent your first fit note. LCWRA element is not paid at all during the waiting period.

    Your first payment will be either Feb or March depending on the date you usually receive your money each month.

    Thank you for your help.
    So I wouldn't get back dated from first fit note?
