    Hey there @denisboneri and welcome to the community. 
    Firstly, congratulations on your award, I bet that must be a relief?

    I believe you should receive the funds on the 4th month after your award?  I'm sure one of the regulars will be able to give more information on this shortly. :)

    There is a waiting period of 3 assessment periods before the LCWRA is paid. You start getting paid from the 4th assessment period.

    Time starts when you reported your condition/provided your first sick note, not the award date.

    Without knowing more information it’s impossible to be able to advise.

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

    What date do you usually receive your money each month?
