Hi,

If the decision was LCWRA then yes you were told correctly in most cases there's a 3 month waiting period. This means that you won't receive the extra £336 until the 4th complete assessment period from when you sent in your first fit note.

If the decision was LCW then you won't receive any extra money each month.

You can't have both, it's one or the other.
