    What date did you first report your health condition? 
    And what date do you usually receive your money each month? 

    If the waiting period starts from 6th Feb that indicates that your first payment will be June. 

    The waiting period is 3 full assessment periods and the extra money is paid from the 4th month after you reported your health condition/sent your first fit note. It’s not paid at all during the waiting period.
