    Hi and welcome 

    It all depends on when you reported the medical condition and when you provided fit note 

    Also the dates of your assessment periods or date you get paid 

    You get additional payment only if awarded lcwra there is no payment for lcw 

    If awarded you are paid from the 4th full assessment period after reporting the condition

    As Janer has advised it will depend on the exact date you reported your health condition and the dates of your assessment periods (or what date you usally receive your money each month) There's a full 3 month waiting period and the extra money is paid from the 4th month of your claim.
    Without knowing those exact dates it impossible to tell you exactly when it's paid from but it will be either November or December 2021. Providing you continued to send in fit notes, without any gaps.
    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.
