in Benefits and income

hi, I’m new here

I got awarded lcwra 14th may 2024 First fit note 16th November 2023 ( no gaps) my AP is 22-21st

My case manager said I’ll start getting payed in september I said that was wrong as in gov.uk says different, she told me to ignore it as it is misleading I have requested a MR.
is she correct?

    If the 16th November was the date you provided your first fit note and not the date on the fit note then your waiting period will be..

    Nov/Dec, Dec/Jan, Jan/Feb… LCWRA starts from AP 22nd Feb to 21st March and first payment will be 28th March.

    The information on Gov.uk isn't misleading at all, the problem here is UC and a lot of the time they don't even know their own rules.
