    What was the decision on the work capability assessment? You will only be entitled to extra money if that decision was Limited Capability For Work Related Activity. (LCWRA)

    For this the extra money is paid from the 4th month after you provided your first fit note. It's then paid at the end of that 4th month. It's not paid at all during the waiting period, which is 3 full assessment periods.

    If it was Limited Capability For Work there's no extra money.

    If it was LCWRA then more information is needed for me to be able to advise.

    1/ What date exactly did you provide your first fit note?

    2/ What date do you usually receive your money each month?

    Hey @Beccajobey8, welcome to the Scope community 🙂 congrats on the result from your assessment! As Poppy mentions to figure out if you receive any extra payments is if you were given LCWRA, and then to figure out when they start we will need the exact dates for both your first fit note and your usual UC payment day each month.

    I just moved this over to our Universal Credit category as well 🙂
