    If you receive payment on 20th then your assessment periods (AP) are 14th to 13th of every month. Was the 15th January the date you reported your health condition and reported your first fit note?

    If so then your waiting period will be Feb to May.. LCWRA starts from AP 14th May to 13th June and first payment would be 20th June.

    Depending on when the decision was made there may not have been time to include the extra element in this months payment. This means they owe you for this month.
