19th August is correct. This is because the waiting period is 3 full assessment periods. Had you reported your health condition when you first claimed and provided a fit note within 7 days of that then first payment would have been 19th July.

ok thank you just wanted to double check do you think i will get back payments?

The LCWRA isn’t paid at all during the waiting period. Your first payment isn’t until August so no money is owed for the LCWRA element.

If you were receiving any earnings and didn’t previously have the work allowance then you maybe owed some money for that. If no earnings were received there will be no money owed.
