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

    It's not paid at all during the waiting period, which is 3 full assessment periods, it's then paid from the 4th month, with first payment being the end of that month.

    Hi @Anthony1, welcome to the community. Looks like you're in capable hands with Poppy, but I just wanted to pop in to say hi and welcome you.

    Just so you know, I've moved your post over to our Universal Credit boards where members can find it more easily. I hope you'll find the community friendly and useful :)
