    The extra money isn’t paid at all during the waiting period. It’s then paid from the 4th month after you first reported your health condition. 
    When it’s paid from will depend on what date you reported your health condition. 
    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.

    If that was when you first reported your health condition then yes. This means your waiting period will be Jan/feb, Feb/March, March/April. LCWRA starts from assessment period April 15th to May 14th and first payment will be May 21st.
