    Assuming this is your first work capability assessment. 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.

    When it's paid from exactly will depend on what date you reported your health condition/sent your first fit note. What date you usually receive your money each month.

    Without knowing the exact date you sent your first fit note then it's not possible to tell you when it's paid from exactly. Based on the information you gave it would be either Oct or Nov 2021.

    Was it March 2023 they paid you from? What was the reason why they only paid it from then? Were there any gaps in your fit notes?

    I did advise you of when it's paid from based on the information you gave.  I can't tell you the exact date because you never told me the exact date you reported your first fit note. June 2021 doesn't help.

    Hi, don’t know where else to type this I am new but looking for some LCWRA advice? 

    I was placed on LCW and after a year I was asked to do a reassessment.. I handed my form back in and waited 12 months for the actual appointment I believe I’m going to get accepted for LCWRA this time so will I get back dated to when I handed my form in 12 months ago with it not being my fault for the long delay and potentially missing out on the extra support of money?
