Question about LWCRA

I just got awarded limited capability for work and work related activities, but I'm not sure what happens now. The letter said something about getting money in three months, but I'm unsure as to what this means exactly. 

I don't remember exactly when I applied, but I think it was sometime in February or March. I had my assessment on May 5th and got my letter on the 31 of May. 

Any advice is good. 

Thank you. 😊

    The waiting period is 3 full assessment periods and the extra money is paid from the 4th month of your claim. Without knowing the answer to the following questions it's impossible to tell you when it's paid from exactly.

    What date did you first report your health condition/send your first fit note? You can look back on your journal if you're not sure and it will tell you on there. (assuming you have access to one)

    What date do you usually receieve your money each month?
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
