    Hi,
    Having a child and not being single makes no difference to this.
    There’s a full 3 month assessment period waiting time for the extra money and it’s paid from the 4th month of your claim from when you first reported your health condition.
    When it’s paid from exactly will depend on what date you first reported your health condition and the dates of your assessment periods (or when you usually receive your payment each month) based on the limited information you’ve given the extra £343 per month will be paid from either Oct/Nov.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Hello @reggie123

    Welcome to the community, it's nice to see you join us and I hope you are well today. 

    I'm glad that you've received your eligiblity letter, I imagine that must have been a relief for you. It can be challenging to work out how much you will be owed, and it can seem confusing, but I hope the above reply has helped. 

    I have moved your discussion over to our UC category, which you might like to browse for related discussions. Additionally, please feel free to get involved across other areas of the community, there are plenty of interesting threads going on!
