    Not sure what you mean by "the sick side of UC" If found to have LCWRA then you'll receive extra money from the 4th month of your claim.

    The extra money isn’t paid at all during the waiting period. It’s paid from the 4th month of your claim starting from when you first reported your health condition/sent your first fit note.

    When it’s paid from for you will depend on the answer to these questions.

    What date did you report your health condition/send your first fit note?

    What date do you usually receive your money each month?
