    First payment will be either June or July. The exact date will depend on what date she usually receives her money each month.

    There will be no LCWRA element owed because it's not paid at all during the waiting period, which is 3 full assessment periods from the date you provided your first fit note. It's then paid from the 4th month with first payment being the end of that month.

    As we are already in June that does seem correct that first payment would be this month. Without knowing the answer to the question I asked it's not possible to advise. They are correct that no LCWRA element is owed.
