Hi there my name is @durhamjaide2001also known as Jaide and you will probably see me around the coffee lounge. As I don't know much about the benefits system but I'm here if you want just want a friendly chat.

First payment would be either August or September 2022.
The exact date it’s paid from will depend on what date you reported your health condition/sent your first fit note and what date you usually receive your money each month.
It often takes quite a few weeks to pay what they owe you and it will be paid separately to your usual monthly amount.
