    There's a full 3 month waiting period and the extra money is paid from the 4th month of your claim, starting from when you first reported your health condition, providing you sent your fit note within 7 days of that. This means that for the first 3 months the extra money isn't paid at all. So what date exactly did you report your health condition?
