When you report a health condition, you're asked to report a fit note within 7 days of that so not doing that could delay the LCWRA starting. There's a full 3 month assessment period waiting time and the extra money is paid from the 4th month.

Depending on what date you usually receive your money each month the LCWRA would be payable from either Aug/Sept, if they go from when you sent your fit note. It will be down to a decision maker whether they start your waiting period from either March or April.

I get paid on the 3rd of each month

If they go by the date you sent your fit note your waiting period will be April/May, May/June, June/July.. LCWRA payable from AP 27th July - 26th August and first payment will be 3rd September.
